alexander_m. Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 The shutter button on my Hexar seems to have a contact problem. When i lock AF, recompose and try to shoot it does not fire.I remember that in a previous thread someone (Jeff Spirer?) mentioned that it is possible to fix the problem without sending the camera in to Konica. I have searched the archives but i could not find anything about how to do it myself.Anybody out here who knows more about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmo Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Time to toss it, though if you want to donate it to a worthy cauuse I'll take it off your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas k. Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Alexander-- I think Jeff is travelling, but perhaps email him directly for a response. BTW, there are some nice pics at your site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icuneko Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Are you asking about the Hexar AF or Hexar RF camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander_m. Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 There is no Hexar AF. They are called Hexar and Hexar RF. Mine is a black Hexar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i want my photo.net histor Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Guys, Could you please post the fix it would be really useful and a good reference for the future. Thanks, Rav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmo Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 The fix is temporary, about five to six hours of labor and it'll loosen up again after a few rolls. Just something the Konica engineers overlooked...I'll give you 75 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icuneko Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 <There is no Hexar AF. They are called Hexar and Hexar RF.> True, but the Hexar is often monikered the "Hexar AF" to differentiate it from the Hexar RF. Regardless, glad I got one, the AF that is.

alexander_m. Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 EDMO, thank you very much for your kind offers, but i think i?ll decline. My Hexar is back in business, after 15 minutes of work (Grant assisting via e-mail) it works like new. Thanks a lot to Grant!
