I opened the bottom plate and I can manually move the shutter releasing mechanism back and forth to fire the shutter. But there must be a bad spring somewhere because it doesnt push back. Anyone know where to look?   Tom_cheshire Tinkerer Username: Tom_cheshire Post Number: 223 Registered: 04-2009 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
