Zuiks,
Input would be appreciated.
I had my beloved -2s jam up on me a coupla years back -- couldn't advance
film, couldn't trip the shutter. Shutter was closed, mirror was down. This
was despite moving the SS to manual, changing batteries, etc.
Sent it to JH for a CLA at which time it was fixed & working beautifully.
Gave the camera to a friend of mine recently when the exact same situation
arose. I noticed a post on the list from someone (Thanks!) re putting a
winder on it to see if the winder->camera linkage could be "jiggled" that
way.
Yup! It worked. I now have a correctly functioning -2s to return to her.
Is this a common thang with -2s's? I seem to recall something about
overwinding. How does this happen, what can be done to prevent, etc?
Thanks!
Dave
