Hi All, lots of great info/threads here...
Of course now that I have some time to devote to taking some pics, my 35GT purchased last year seems to be dying during use this weekend.
Everything worked A-OK previously, and I put in a fresh battery.
14 shots through my roll, the film advance lever became "jammed" in the forward position. After a little bit of wiggling it did return to normal. However after that point the shutter seems to not respond (other than twitching slightly). Indicator lights also were both on at same time when looking through finder.
So now all i get is a "click" and no action from shutter when release button is pressed.
I have been reading about the Pad Of Death - could this be my problem?
Also seemily unrelated the focus ring seems to be seizing up all of a sudden too - how can I access/lubricate?
thanks again for sharing tips if you have been faced with a similar situation.
m.a.
