Hi to everybody,
I have recently buy a FC-1 wih 40/1.8 lens in a low price. When I received the camera I tried it since it had batteries.The strange thing is that it seems to work but in a false way, i.e. when advancing the film it stops down the lens to any diaphragm I have chosen. So the viewfinder is dark when focusing.Releasing the shutter opens the diaphragm and the shutter fires at the correct speed.When focusing with the lens in the infinite distance the lens barrel shows the smallest distance and vice versa. Some screws from the botton cover as well as on both sides of the viewfinder are missing, somebody has opened the camera. Has anybody any idea what is wrong and how can i fix the camera? many thanks in advance, George
