Fm2n shutter sticking

[mporter012]

The shutter on my Fm2n is sticking around 1/15th of a second and slower. It was intermittent and so I ignored it, but it's sticking every time I press the shutter at those speeds. I was shooting today and it was cold out (0 degrees) and it seemed worse than usual, but it's been happening in temperatures above freezing as well. Do you think the culprit is the cold or something else? I previously used an FE2 during winter and had no issues.

I could be things are getting gummed up. A trip in for a CLA might be all it needs.

Needs a CLA.

Hopefully that's all. I JUST had is supposedly CLA-ed by International Camera in Chicago. I'll take it back down there and see what they say.

Ask 'em if they can repair FM2n shutters for more accurate timing.

Yeah the FM2n I just got is doing the same thing. Anyone recommend someone to do the work in the Mid Atlantic area?
