I recently got a nice supermatic x with a nice 127mm lens. It looks preety good and seems to function right in B or T mode but no matter what speed i set the shutter too its shooting at the same speed every time.
The speed appears to be something around 1\25th but i'm guessing, its a fastish open and close though. The shutter doesn't seem sticky as it open and closes nice and quick and doesn't stick open or anything.
I was wondering if anyone had seen this and might have an idea of a fix? I've read all the threads on slow speeds and sticky shutters but never this problem.
Also does anyone know how to get the retaining ring off? its on its original lens board and even after undoing the 3 screws it wont budge.
I've tried the usual grippy rubber mat i have (i place the shutter on and twist and its usually great for removing stuck rings or elements but it just wont move this time.
I've also tried pliers in two holes and twisting but still nothing.
Am i doing something wrong?
I'd like to get it off the board if the fix for the one speed at all settings involves a clean.
thanks ;)
