I just got an Olympus 35 RD back from service in Germany. The work seems to be fine, only:
When I press the shutter release (fast or slow doesn't matter) the needle and aperture blades mostly act like they should, but sometimes I can feel/hear very softly that something slips or don't catch and the needle goes to the far left and blades open fully when I know there is light enough. When the needle/aperture-system do "catch", it agrees with my handheld lightmeter.
Of course I could ask the service-man about this but I ask here first. If a cure for this is relatively simple I might do it myself and would not need to send it to Germany one more time.
