Hi all,
On my Minolta XG1, the second curtain doesn't work : at every speed from 1s to 1/1000s the sound is the same.
Furthermore, it works properly with the B pause.
What's wrong with it ?

There is nothing seriously wrong with your camera. Your camera needs a good overhaul and shutter lubrication. We service this model and would gladly help you out. Visit us at www.garryscamera.com for more details.

In fact, the problem seems to come frome the speed dial resistors.
Comparing to another XG1 speed dial, mine get 1/125,1/250,1/500,1/1000,1/500,1/250,1/125,B or something like that.
Strange behaviour, isn't it ? |

Ok, the resistor problem is resolved : just a mistake in the measure, infact.
Concenrnig lubrication of the shutter : it's sound strange to me : if the second curtain works properly in B mode, why it is not working at any speed ?
PS: I'm currently modifiyng a XG1 to remove the penta and be able to use the ground glass directly as a viewfinder. Silly, but I like doing this sort of stuff. |
