Hi all,
Just received my first ever manual camera today, Pentax ME Super! I knew it was coming (thanks to online tracking) so I brought a roll of film and my M50/1.7 with me today. After following the manual carefully I was able to got everything working properly. However I am finding the Exposure Mode Index button (the one you use to change the camera into Auto, M, 125x, B or Lock) very stiff to turn. I think it might be caused by the white button not depressing properly, sometimes it get stuck in the depressed state and doesn't come back up.
Now here are my questions:
1. Is this normal (due to age of the camera)?
2. Can this be fixed easily? Ie can I just bring this into a camera shop and they will be able to fix it without too much trouble?
3. If I am going to get it fixed, assuming the problem is fixable, anything else I should get the shop to check?
4. Anything else I should watch out for?
Thanks
Kenny
