<p>I've got the bug that's apparently been going around all the Yashica T5s by the looks of my Google searches, but no conclusive solution has been provided by anyone to date.<br> A fellow photo.net member outlined the problem very nicely about 7 years ago: "whenever i press the shutter button, the lens extends to focus, i see and hear the shutter blades opening and closing quite fast, but the lens stays extended and doesn't return back to the original non-focused position.<br> it just sticks there. when i press the shutter button again, it goes back into place.<br> the flash doesn't fire, even on the forced flash mode.<br> the problem (lens focus, shutter opens quickly, stays stuck until i press the button again) occurs on every mode (auto, no-flash, forced flash, infinity), on redeye mode, only the preflash goes off but the lens still stays stuck."<br> After all these years, is there anyone who still has an answer?<br /><br /></p>

<p>No one has any answers to this problem? My Yashica just started showing this very same issue, really sad since I love this little camera to bits!</p>

<p>I completely forgot about this thread for about 3 years. Well, long story short, and due in no small part to the responses I received from the wonderful members here, about 2 months after I started the thread I procured a M3. It's perfect for the 50mm lens!<br /> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href=" title="DSC_0128-2"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5714/21380087244_46ee26ee09_c.jpg" width="800" height="530" alt="DSC_0128-2"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script<br> Edit: I went for the 50mm f2.8 Elmar instead, it's a wonderful lens in itself, and I don't think I'll be needing another 50mm in quite a while.</p>
