i had an idea...

we (actually, not me, i can't do web design.) should add a section depicting problems and solutions for specific cameras. example:

Camera: Pentax ME super

Symptoms: multiple wind, no wind lock activated. can not fire until wind lock activates.

Solution*: rubber bumper on screw holding mirror release/spring lock disintegrating, slows mechanism.

Cure: remove bumper, screw and clean with knife and reassemble and lube. be careful to not break the bumper.....

*don't know if this actually works.

anyhoo, with pics and stuff, something like this could save alot of pain and trouble. and if we all contributed a bit, it would probably be pretty useful.

any comments/suggestions?
