i'm aware it is related so some part inside the camera, but don't know exactly what. have 14e any "pod" problems?

PoD = Pad of Death.
In the G series cameras, there is a small rubber pad between the primary and secondary shutter rods. If this has gone bad (and almost all of the early rubber ones do) the sliding switches in the body are out of position by the thickness of the missing pad (about 2mm). This causes all sorts of problems with exposure measurement and the over/under lights.
I'm afraid I don't know if the 14e has the same problem - G'man is the guy here to ask.

ok, so one more thing to check when i will try to fix my lynx (aperture blades are stucked wide open). i put my first roll of film in, we'll see if there we'll be any vignetting, light leaks etc. pictures will not be super sharp, i guess, since i can use only f1.4 at this moment.
thnx for info, john.

Hi - it's an acronym for Pad Of Death

The Lynx doesn´t have any POD as the shutter is purely mechanical (Copal SVE), not electronically governed as in the G series.
The only problem you may face with exposure is metering, due to the resistive ring that is used to transfer iris, shutter speed and ISO setting to the electronic meter. If this ring is spoiled or worn out, contact may be impaired and /or resistance value won´t be the right one for a certain position, then giving false readings.
The only other camera (that I know of) having the same shutter and settings info transfer system is the Mamiya Super Deluxe which uses a slightly different ring arrangement in the lens barrel.
