Pentax MEF Lever Issue

Hi

Dug out my ME F and noticed that when winding the lever to setup the next shot the shutter fires prematurely without me pressing the shutter button and then will keep doing so. Changing the lens seems to fix it and I've noticed this only happens with the 50mm 1.7 M lens attached and not with other lenses I have used.

Would we say this is a problem with the camera or that particular lens?

Tom

An odd one, but given you state it only happens with 1 lens, then yes a lens issue. its probably worth cleaning the mating surfaces particularly on the lens with Isopropy
