Rollei 6008 - does this sound like a fault? or am I doing something wrong

Something strange with the Rolleiflex 6008 - it's fine in Aperture priority, but if I -decide I want top migrate to manual for a particular shot as soon as I turn the shutter dial to select the speed, it starts telling me the speed will be 15 seconds for the 500 setting and then 30s for the 1/250th and 30s for all other shutter speed settings.

Am I doing something wrong - or has this camera developed a fault. It was fine earlier today and earlier this week.

Any help much appreciated,

Matt.

Sounds like a fairly common fault with the software misreading the iso dial. Try rotating the iso to 6400, set the manual shutter overide to 500, reset the iso.

if that doesn't work, you may have dirty contacts under the shutter speed knob. Do a google search, there was an article on how to clean them on p-net complete with pictures.

Thanks for the help - I'll try these things! If it doesnt work looks like I may have to find a service agent. I suspect servicing this camera is rather like servicing a Bentley - and probably costs almost as much!
