Greetings all,
The good news is that my OM-4Ti is back from repair!!! I've just run a role
through it which I'll be dropping off to have developed after work (my
priorities are a little mixed). Now it's time for the next two items.
First, I've just popped a brand new Varta battery in my OM-1, and compared
the metering with my resurrected 4 and noticed that there is about a 2 stop
difference. The camera has never been CLA'd, but I reckon when I send it in
this week they can resolve that problem too.
Second, my bounce grip 2 is on the blink and I wonder if this is something
that I may be capable of repairing. Quick synopsis of the last time I used
it. Camera froze with the shutter open after the last picture, and the BG2
became very hot. I took the batteries out of the BG2 and they were almost
smoking (okay, slight exaggeration). After that it hasn't worked since and
always heats up when the batteries are put in. The repair shop says I
should chuck it, but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ralph
