Hi everybody,
after a few years doing different things I'm back doing analogue photography. I retrieved my gear from storage, found a few unfortunate things (spelled F U N G U S) and am currently trying to get everything working again.
The SL66 fared well. I removed the magazine and did a few shots to get a feel for the shutter. All works well, shutter runs smoothly at all times, the diaphragm blades at the Planar work fine, looks good. Loaded a magazine with (old) Acros and started to do a few interior pics. No obvious problems, camera works, button at the magazine rotates, all is well. Did about 7 shots.
Now I'm trying to switch magazines. What can I say, the /*-ed darkslide refuses to go into the magazine. It stops about 3/4 in.
What can I do without breaking anything? The camera fires, the mirror comes down, the film is transported, only the darkslide is blocked...
Thank you in advance!
Martin
