I just got an ME SE with brown leather and this thing is gorgeous! Everything seems to operate and function correctly except for the shutter. The meter works, frame counter, self timer, and even the shutter will fire on the mechanical speeds (125 and B). when I manipulate the aperture dial on the lens, the meter registers the change in shutter speed but the actual speed of the shutter does not change when fired. It seems stuck at the mechanical 1/125 second.
Since the exterior of the camera seems to be in near mint condition, I don't think the problem was caused by physical damage. I think that it might be something simple. Where should I start in trying to chase down the source of this malfunction?
