Hi,
I just got a Pentax 6x7 MLU body w/ 105 lens. While testing the camera, I ran into my first problem. I've searched on the net for a couple days and also reached out to Eric from pentaxs.com for the problem. He replied that he's never seen this problem before.
Here is the problem: all shutter speeds works, including bulb mode. However, at speed 1/30th and 1/60th only, the mirror would lock up right in the middle after firing the shutter. Pressing the reset button would bring the mirror up and then I was able to fire the shutter again to bring the mirror down to its starting position. I've tried switching to a new Duracell 28L battery; it didn't help. All other speeds, including slower speeds at 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 work and sound right.
Has anyone ran into the same problem and possibly have a fix for it?
Many thanks,
Mark
