My stupidity caused a great problem with Pen F. Trying to check whether I can make fully automatic adapter for using Canon FD lenses on Pen F, I decided to estimate necessary effort for controlling diaphragm. So I opened shutter at "B" and began pressing diaphragm controlling lever of the body to the right, measuring effort and maximal displacement. But the camera was not fool proof, and after cocking (and, may be, releasing)the shutter under theese conditions the whole mechanics became jammed. Can I do anything, or the disassembling is inevitable? Thanks for any advice. Nicolas. |

Boy, it has been a long time since I've had a Pen F open. Sounds like you have just gotten the release sequence out of phase and need to fully cock the camera again to get everything back inline.
I've been sitting here trying to remember where the wind lock is located. I'm not sure. But I seem to remember a long push rod under the bottom cover. Try pushing this rod towards the rewind side of the camera. The shutter should fire then you can wind again...I think.
