Hi,
I have a lens mounted in Prontor Professional 01 shutter. This is a self cocking shutter. You just open the aperture fully, put the shutter speed dial to "B" and then open the shutter for focusing with the cable release pushed and locked. The shutter should remain open as long as the shutter release stays locked. The problem is that the shutter is not staying open even if the shutter release cable is kept locked.
1. Has anyone faced this problem?
2. What might be the problem?
3. Is the shutter somehow damaged?
4. What might have damaged the shutter?
This shutter design allows usage of two shutter release cables, one for tripping the shutter and the other for keeping the shutter open for focusing. But I would rather use just one cable.
Thanks.
