Canon New F1 Shutter speed dial problem

<p>Hi Guys,<br>

<br /> I have problem with a New F1 with AE head that I picked up cheaply not long ago. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition, the shutter fires and everything else works well. However... In manual mode, at the extremes of the speed range (e.ge from B to 1/15th and 1/250th - 1/2000th & AE the shutter speeds in the finder start to slip from those on the dial. This might not be so bad but at the 'fast' end with the flag in the body only partially covers the scale when it goes into AE mode. Since I use AE most of the time the slippage is less important but having the issue and having both exposure scales on view scales on view bugs me.</p>

<p>I suspect this may be an issue that comes from lack of use and that if I work it I may find it improves but wondered if anyone has experience of a similar problem?</p>

<p>Oh and Hi there again - I've not been around these parts for ages as I've been shooting my Contax/Yashica gear but New Year, New Gear!</p>

I have seen this occasionally with New F-1s. Sometimes a bit of light finger tapping sets it right, but we know what the

real fix is: servicing!

<p>Well, the camera went from bad to worse with a bit of tapping so it went back to the store who kindly refunded me, in spite of it having been 'sold as seen.'<br>

I suspect the money will, however, go on a NOS 24/2.8 from Ffordes.</p>
