I definately have the problem with the EL. Probably more than 50 percent of my photos are underexposed, even if I set the ISO one or more stops slower. I was hoping the GT-E wouldn't have this problem.

I recently purchased an old Minox EL. When I get prints back, about half of the frames are blank. Pressing the shutter button with the back open, I notice that my shutter opens every time, unless I wind it with the cover closed. Is this a common occurrance? Also, I seem to get underexposed photos even when I set the ISO at a slower film speed. Could this be from a sticky shutter caused by dirt? I could open it and clean the shutter, but it makes me a bit nervous. I thought that maybe I should just send it to a Minox repairman and see what can be done to save it. Any suggestions?
