Cam question.

[Goodyear]

Involves my M2, but could be any RF camera, I guess.

I picked up the camera after a couple of days. When I tried to focus (M-mount Elmar 50 moutned) the patch wasn't doing anything at all. I took the lens off and the cam seemed stuck - it took a little nudge to free it up and now all seems normal.

What just happened?

The camera is only a few weeks back from a mega-CLA, and I've had one roll through it which I haven't developed yet.

Mark, you are going to have to give us a little more info on your problem. You say the cam seemed stuck. Did you mean the lens cam was stuck, or the cam-follower, (roller) in the camera body? If, it was the cam-follower in the camera, was it stuck in the innermost position? If so it is likely the roller was somehow pushed in too far and simply stuck in that position. Could have happened during a lens change or some other fiddling. If all seems well now, it is probably nothing to worry about. Check the close focus accuracy and intinity focus for your peace of mind.
