mikeivnitsky Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi all. I just recieved a pen F with normal lens. Without the lens the shutter works normally - when the lens is mounted it sticks and needs some fidgeting with the lever to return. I have no other lenses to check it but with a m42 adaptor everything works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_oleson Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 set the lens to f/16 and operate the DOF button: does it seem stiff, or do you see oil on the diaphragm blades? the Pen seems to have a pretty powerful lens actuating system, but the lens might be putting up too much resistance.

mikeivnitsky Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 it is stiff.how do I unstiff it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeivnitsky Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 It also happens wide open. Also th lever that pushes the apperture has a sharp portruding bit - should it or is it a defect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 You unstiff the lens by bringing it to just about any camera repair place, who will take it apart and remove ALL the oil that has migrated to the diaphragm. It is the most common repair to SLR lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
