Tor1Amos Posted January 24, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was fidling about with the nob (skrew) to adjust the second shutter curtain on my old M3. I find that the adjustment of the shutter curtain made an impact on the shutter speed on the one, and the half second exposure. Before adjustment, my one second was more like one and a half. I adjusted the shutter curtain and got the one second exposure time set to precise one second. The half second exposure seems right too. But this cant be the right way to adjust the one second exposure time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmas Posted January 24, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 24, 2010 Hi There are maintenance manuals of sorts (e.g. for m2) available on the web, if you google. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted January 26, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 26, 2010 Jacking up tension is a back idea. The proper solution is a cla by someone who knows what they are doing. I would not operate on my appendix or camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted January 26, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 26, 2010 Agreed but there is an individual adjustment for the early M slowest speeds, quite forgotten where... Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spdtwn Posted February 22, 2010 Share #5 Posted February 22, 2010 Shutter curtain spring tensions are best left alone. Incorrect exposure is usually the result of dirty mechanism and bearings. The slow speeds can only be adjusted by dismantling the top housing..,that is after cleaning and lubricating the escapement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
