EXPERIENCES WITH EXA'S

[Wes Martinson]

I have two Exa's and have the same problem with both.

I am curious if anyone has has success with Exa cameras on slow shutter speeds.

My experience is this: I get double images when I use slow shutter speeds.

I have concluded the problem results from vibration when the mirror flops up.
While it is traveling up, some of the exposure takes place. When the mirror hits the top, the camera moves slightly and while the second curtain is closing the remainder of the exposure takes place in a slightly different position resulting in a "double image"

I have taken some wonderfull sharp images at higher shutter speeds ( that is if you can call 1/150 a higher shutter speed)

Anyone have the same experience?

I only use mine as a sunny day camera so 1/50 is my norm (using K64).
The only slower speed on mine is 1/25, which shouldn't give the trouble you describe.
I love their small size and German glass!
