Hello,
I read up on the Luc shutters on the forums and found it very interesting, so I bought one for my barrel lenses. I just received a luc shutter that supposedly was in working order. However, I have run into a couple of problems and would be very thankful if anyone with more experience would like to share their thoughts!
On instant mode and manual mode the blades fully retract. However when using bulb mode the blades will only open 80% or so. Is this normal behaviour?
I also noticed some light leaks (see the attached picture) at the edge of one of the shutter blades. Is this a common problem and do you think it would be fixable by sending it in for a CLA?
I've also attached some additional pictures for you too see if there are any obvious problems apparent that might help in fixing these problems.
Looking forward to hear your thought!
