Hello all.
Well, after some years in the shelf, i wanted to shoot again with my LX.
And what happens?
When i shoot, the mirror goes up sloooowly, and goes down normaly.
If i invert the camera, upside down position, the mirror moves faster, but goes down ( in this position up) slowly.
It's not the sticky mirror problem.
If i move it by hand, i feel it heavy, and "stationary".
I have a P30, and a K1000, and both mirrors are ok, when i move them by hand, they act free with clear tension.
Seems that the problem can be clogged grease....?
I've tried to find info in how to do a DIY maintenance, and nothing....
I've opening the base plate just to take a look, but from beneath there's no visual contact with the mecanics of the mirror.
Anyone can give me his opinion on what way need i take to arrive to this mecanic part to clean and lubricate?
I know, the best way is to send the camera to a CLA, but i like to do it myself, if it's not toooooo dificult.
Here's a video of the problem:
Thanks for your opinions!
