P67 bulb shutter setting

[michael_mahoney]

While on bulb setting and either holding the shutter button down, or squeezing the cable release my camera takes the exposure after 2 seconds, regardless of how long I hold the button down.

The mirror returns, and the exposure is completed. The only way I can get a bulb setting is to set the speed between 1000 and X.

Whats the problem here?

Mike:

It is well known that the bulb setting can be used for metering and represents a speed of two seconds for metering purposes. As I recall, between speed settings will yield a bulb like action. I would suggest calling Pentax's U.S. headquarters office in Colorado as to why your 67 is acting like it is. Steve
