<p>I recently bought the newer model F1 (F1N) from a guy online. When I received it, I noticed something odd when looking at the meter in the viewfinder. When changing the shutter speed from a slower number to a faster one (for example, 1/125 > 1/500) the aperture scale for metering on the right side of the viewfinder gets obstructed or blocked. Sometimes it's fully blocked, other times it's slanted at an angle so the bottom half is blocked but you can see part of the top half. This happens at EVERY shutter speed on the dial, but only when turning it right/faster. When turned back to the left/slower, it becomes unblocked. Now, I know that this aperture scale is supposed to be blocked when put into "A" mode, but obviously the camera is malfunctioning and causing it to block when it shouldn't be. At first I thought it was a viewfinder issue, but it happens with the AE finder and the regular one, and I confirmed it by taking off the finder all together and seeing it happen in the tiny window where this scale is on the left of the focusing screen. Now, this doesn't severely affect it's functionality, but obviously I bought the camera because the description was that it was "fully operational" and paid accordingly. Ideally an easy fix would be great, but if this needs to go to a shop for repair, any recommendations for a place I can send it to would be great, as no one in my city will work on these.</p><div></div>
