(Assuming you have a C lens) - don't use the self-timer. Ever.

Autokairophobia - fear of self timers (*)

I must be odd that I insist all my lens or body self timers work. From Rolleiflex, to Hasselblad, to Exakta, Leica, Nikon, Canon, Minolta, even Voigtländer Bessamatic. Everything.

Once the self timer fails, the next are the slow speeds. It's an indication the lens or body needs a CLA.


(*) I apologize for the butchered use of Greek. However, I just now learned the difference between Kairos and Chronos.

the camera thinks you are at the end of the roll.Take the film insert ut of the back and insert it again.Now the camera will operate normally.

"the camera THINKS..." Victor would have loved that!
