I just obtained a CLE kit at a bargain price - the camera surely is a joy to handle with - but there seems to be some problem with the shutter.
When testing, the shutter fires accurately with the film chamber opened; however it seems to be some 2 to 3 stops slower with film installed, and a lot more slower without the film.
That is, if my meter reads a 1/30s (which I found out to be accurate comparing to my other cameras' meters), the shutter goes right at 1/30s with the film chamber open, and it's like 1/8s when I put a roll of film in, some 3 seconds without the film.
In manual mode every stop fires accurately. I understand that the CLE uses a sophisticated OTF metering system...but am I still missing something here? Thanks.
