Hi folks.
I´ve purchased a contax t2 and i´m intrigued about the slow speeds i remember my t3 and it clearly had slow speeds but on the T2 i find 1/30th and then it jumps to bulb mode. In indoors i MUST use flash.
Also i find the speeds in general are too fast...
When i bought it the shutter was jammed i managed to fix it. Could this problem affect the speeds behavior afterewrds?
Thanks in advance.

The manual says "auto bulb beyond 1 sec". I don't use the slow speed much, but as far as I can remember I was able to shoot slow speeds from tripod, not only "bulb". If i understand correctly, when LT is lit, it's a slow speed, when LT is blinking - bulb (but I can be mistaken).

Hi Guys, thanks!
The blades of the shutter were like "derailed" and one was overlapping out. i dismantled it from the front:
1-took out the sonnar rim of the lens.
2-then unscrewed everything out and reached the shutter blades then i was able to operate manually the shutter blades via a ring, after a few tries the shutter was "de-jammed" and worked again.
But i feel the camera is underexposing by at least 2 points.
...and when the Lt is lit the shutter fires too fast looks like 1/30th. I compared it with my optima sensor and the difference is evident.
Now i wonder if there is some kind of adjustment to the shutter tripping?
I think the camera is correct in it´s light reading but the shutter is behaving incorrectly? How could i test this?

I´ve done it, and have to say between bulb and 1/30th the other slow speeds are lost ...
Thanks for your help!
