Hello all,
I just received a Synchro Compur shutter and noticed the following behaviour. It came with an older 150mm Ysarex lens, and from the serial number, must be early in its production. The owner says he has had the shutter serviced, but I wonder whether this is proper behaviour for the shutter:
1. To open the shutter for viewing, I have to cock the shutter and then push the opening tab.
The shutter opens properly and the tab stays down. But when I lift the tab, the shutter does not re-close.
I have to press the shutter release to close the shutter. The opening tab pops up and the shutter works afterwards.
Is lifting the opening tab supposed to re-close the shutter?
2. On 1/400, the shutter release doesn't fire the shutter if the flash is on X setting. It fires if I push the flash sync lever. If the sync is on M, the shutter fires properly at 1/400.
The cosmetics of the shutter and lens are very very good, so I don't think it has been abused. Just curious about this behaviour.
Thanks in advance
Vick
