Hi those knowledgeable,
my this nights message is - in mid of first roll Lynx 5000 stopped to release shutter. Nothing special preceded it, before some hours it worked. I mean, it still winds, shutter button can be pressed, it silently 'clicks' inside and nothing more. Shutter leafs even don't try to move as it happens with stuck shutters.
Right now I googled on Dan Mitchell's article on 5000 and in bottom he mentions this (or similar?) problem - "If the shutter release button does not fire the shutter, you can rotate the eccentric located on the release lever attached to the helicoid. Obviously this can only be done after removing the front panel."
Maybe I should peel off leatherette, maybe there are adjustment holes....
I wonder if this is common problem on Lynx and what is reason - misadjustment, else ?
