  1. <p>So, I've been messing around with the body and I gently forced the mirror to fire by holding down the shutter button and pushing the pins around in the correct direction, I have managed to get the mirror and light tight frame (LTF) to fire correctly everytime I try to fire it. Unfortunately, either the mechanism is to weak or something is stuck because the ring stops right before the very end so that it doesnt fire the shutter on the lens. I have to push it ever so slightly forward to get it to fire the shutter. Any ideas?</p>
  2. <p>I recently purchased a ETRS "kit" from KEH and it all arrived nicely packed and fine. I have installed a new battery (the check light works fine), the prism is metering correctly, the lens looks great and the film back winds forward and stops on 1 when theres film in it. The problem comes when I try to take a picture, I have the darkslide removed and I've went the checklist in the manual 3 or 4 times, but when I advance everything the shutter button becomes easy to press but it just bottoms out and nothing happens, the shutter isn't firing, the mirror doesnt move, and the advance lever doesn't unlock. It also doesn't act any differently in multiple exposure mode. It winds to a stop and then won't fire. I don't know the system well enough to really troubleshoot what it could be, so I'm not sure if its an error on my part or if theres a problem with the body of the camera its self. </p>
  3. <p>So I recently acquired an ETRS camera kit and with it the Zenzanon PE 75mm F/2.8 and I've read the manuals and looked around online but I can't figure out how to unlock the A/T lever on the lens. The manual shows it being a setscrew that you have to loosen but on my copy of the lens, it looks like a setscrew but only has a really small dot and no where to use a screwdriver at. I feel like its a stupid question but how do you disengage the lever lock?</p>
