I was perusing this site and wondered if you can offer an opinion on an old SLR I have? It is a Honeywell Pentax H1a with a Super Takumar 55 mm f2 lens. It is in clean condition but, when I shoot, the shutter speeds between 1 second and 1/15th of a second (1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/15) cause the shutter to stick open.
I cannot remember if that was how the camera worked -- I am skeptical. The speeds from 1/30th to 1/500th work fine. It is extremely clean, had seen little use since I got out of the USAF (I bought it in 1969 and last used it around 1985), and has been stored in a clean dry place all this time.
My thanks in advance for your recommendations and whether it'd be worth poking into.
