Yesterday was a bad day...
Had some quality problems on an item we import from Chile. I planned to
take print photos, develop at 1-hour lab, run home, scan them, post them to
an internet page, and have a three-way conference call with all of us
logged on looking at the photos.
I selected my OM4T, 90 Macro, T2 Power Control, T28 Dual Macro Flash, and
the ring to mount flash to lens.
Did a battery check, no problem. Started to load 24-exp 100ASA Kodak Gold,
and mirror locks up. Change batteries, mirror stays locked. When I move
lever thru auto to BC, get a short beep, not a continuous tone. Figure I'd
set shutter speed to manual 60, but forget how. More time to find Oly
manual. Finally, setting to manual 60 unlocks everything, ready to roll.
This camera has never given me the slightest bit of trouble; must be pissed
I sold most of my stuff for Contax. Any other suggestions welcomed!
Drag stuff to work, take pictures, get developed, perfect. Start to
dismantle setup. For some reason, cannot unscrew macro flash ring from
inside of Heliopan filter on 90mm. So I unscrew ring itself, figuring that
will make it easier to detach from filter. Bad idea! Four teeny springs and
ball bearings fall out. Still haven't figured out where they go either....
Regards,
Denton Taylor
