Hey guys,
i recently got a Pentax MX with the M50/1,7 i bought for my Pentax K-x. I thought it would be nice to start learning the old-school way of photography to improve my skills for digital photography. And it's quite cool (hipsterish
).
Now after looking at the manual and my first steps, i had the famous problem with the sticky mirror foam, so I had to flip the mirror back by hand. That problem somehow solved itself, but now I got a new one: when I'm pressing the release, the mirror flips up veeeeery slow. Once it is up I can press the release again, the shutter does its job and the mirror flips back.
Now my question: what is going on there?
