Hi all,<br><br>

I shot a roll of film last week that was completely black so this weekend when

I went out shooting with my G617 I took careful note of how it was all

operating. <br><br>

I soon found out why! Sometimes, when I hit the shutter button (via cable

release) both on the body or on the lens, the cock lever (not sure what this

is called) only comes back 2/3 of the way and doesn't take a photo. If I

gently tap it with my finger it goes back to where it should be and takes the

photo. <br><br>

Can anyone shed some light on how to fix this? I'm guessing something is

sticky in the shutter operation? I can work around it for the time being by

manually using my finger but I'm not very happy considering I have only had

the camera for less than 2 months (and it only came with a 40 day warranty)!

<br><br>

Cheers,<br><br>

Can anyone recommend a good, affordable, accurate light meter (with spot

attachment) that would be suitable for landscapes I am shooting on my G617?

<br><br>

I was looking at the Sekonic L-358 with 10 degree spot attachment, but heard

from a fellow photographer that when it comes to low light conditions it is

quite inaccurate.<br><br>

Any suggestions?<br><br>

Hi all,<br><br>

I was researching scanners that have capabilities of scanning 6x17cm

transparencies and came across this new Epson Perfection V700 -

I was just wondering if anyone has used this new beast and if does really

rival drum scanners as claimed! I wonder how it compares to a scan from an

Imacon Flextight?<br><br>

Cheers,<br><br>

Thanks guys, your feedback is appreciated. I did contact Satin Snow and they informed me they can make them but need the measurements, which I apparently need the Ground Glass for!? Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a ground glass back for the Fuji G617?

Thanks,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to buying or getting a ground glass

(or focusing screen) made for my Fuji G617?<br><br>

I have read through all the posts and tried calling Bill Maxwell but the

number listed (Back in early 2000) no longer works.<br><br>

All help would be appreciated!<br><br>

Cheers,<br><br>
