Hi all.. new member here. I have a canon F-1 (early version) in almost mint condition. Having said that it has slight problem. The adavance lever needs an extra slight forward push before the shutter will operate. In other words it wo'nt wind on in one action. With it's matching power drive there is no problem. All it needs is a slight wind on, either at the beginning or the end of the cycle. I suspect something is not right in the wind on lever mechanism. Any ideas would be gratefully received.. cheers dave
