Hello,
Bought an LX from goodwill and its clearly been sitting in this case for about 25 years. I've cleaned it up, and everything electronically appears to be working including all the slow speeds and lightmeter. I did find something that isn't working though. On mirror up mode specifically at "electronic speeds" (less then 1/75th or whatever) it won't complete the shutter release, and the curtain and mirror get stuck. After some amount of time (seems random) they will randomly decide to complete and then its fine again. Was just wondering if anyone knows why it wouldn't be working on mirror up mode on electronic shutter speeds, yet electronic shutter speeds work as intended when the mirror up modes off.
Minor update: it seems to mostly fix it if i massage the iso and exposure comp dials as suggested by others online, would my assumption be correct that by properly cleaning the top of the camera it might just fix this issue entirely? I read somewhere that the Lx top is a pain to get off and it has seals? I'm pretty good at taking apart other pentax cameras like the MX and I'm wondering how hard this would be in comparison to something like that
