I've got the bug that's apparently been going around all the Yashica T5s by the looks of my Google searches, but no conclusive solution has been provided by anyone to date.
A photo.net member outlined the problem very nicely: "whenever i press the shutter button, the lens extends to focus, i see and hear the shutter blades opening and closing quite fast, but the lens stays extended and doesn't return back to the original non-focused position.
it just sticks there. when i press the shutter button again, it goes back into place.
the flash doesn't fire, even on the forced flash mode.
the problem (lens focus, shutter opens quickly, stays stuck until i press the button again) occurs on every mode (auto, no-flash, forced flash, infinity), on redeye mode, only the preflash goes off but the lens still stays stuck."
Is there anyone round these parts who has the magic cure?
