So, a little bit different take on the EEE problem. And no, I’m not talking about sticky shutters, de-magnetized solenoids, or inoperable shutter mechanisms (although my camera has suffered all of the above at various times.)
My problem is that when I mount any of my many FD lens in “A” mode the camera immediately throws EEE. This happens when the EE coupling pin on the lens mount engages with the EE sensor on the camera body flange without even rotating the lens to lock it. In fact, with no lens mounted, I can depress the camera flange sensor with a pointed object and immediately cause the EEE error. The stop-down lever is NOT engaged.
My question is are there any remedies for this or even ideas on why this may be happening? All other non-Program modes work fine including manual time value, manual aperture value, and manual stop-down aperture priority metering.
I’ve searched this site and the Internet in general, but only found one other person who had the same problem and unfortunately, there were no responses to his query. Hoping the FD mount users here might have an idea. Thanks much!
Larry.
