I have a TTL that I was about to put a roll of film through today. As I go t it out to test, everything seemed fine excep that about 1 in 5 times 1/30 acts as bulb. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Shutter curtain springs need propably tensioning, there has been instructions on this at least in Yahoos ZCG.

Best regards,
Juhani

Fortunately, it was just the shutter dial required a simple tweak!

Dear Martin,

I had this with two TTLs. Solved it by putting a metal space ring underneath the shutter speed selector. I really love the looks and hold of the TTL, but the great drawback is the dark focusing screen. The Zenit E and EM are much brighter.
