|
|
When shooting on "I" the mirror hangs half way up. To avoid this I need to change to "T", release the mirror (goes up now) and press the shutter. Is this a common problem for old Graflex Super D 4x5".
Thank you,
Tomas |

This is not normal. Does it hang at all aperture/tension settings?
Observe the wind plate while releasing the shutter with the body release. When it hangs will the M lever move further back if you pull it back? If yes check the pin in the I/T slider, it may be bent and not lifting the M lever up enough for the shutter to release. The base of the M lever may be worn down so that the pin on the I/T lever will not lift the M lever high enough.
The shutter may need a CLA. _________________ The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU. |

It only hangs at H 1/1000. I have tried to adjust the “IT” pin without success but it looks worned. |
