that stinks......i had a few problems when i first got mine as well......here's the thread i had on it......the last passage has a link that helped me very lightly oil and resolve the problem.....it's as simple as removing the base plate and place a tiny bit of lube (i used sewing machine oil dispensed by a medical needle).....have not had an issue since and enjoy loading it up with film and snapping away!

man that's great n good deal!! mine costed a bit more and is not in nearly in the same looking condition.......really enjoy shooting with it even though it takes the odd 6v (4 lr44) battery......also have a great (i believe) ensemble of lenses (all smc) 35/3.5, 50/1.4, 55/1.8, 85/1.8, 135/3.5.......you may have seen some scans in the :cool ....see your film thread although mostly with expired film
enjoy the kit!

hahaha!! thank you Steve! ......i had it in my head that i could set/change the fstop electronically along with speed.......
after reading some of the manual (which needs to be done again) but seems TTL can be done without the lens set in the 'a' position

super program.....seems functional with batteries.....fires the speeds will vary as i change them......need the manual as i do not follow what the hell it is doing in auto
kalimar 28-200/f3.9 (macro)......seems ok had a 72mm polarizer on it.....will come in handy for the various vivitar series 1 i have with step up rings

another spotmatic F......everything but the light meter functions.....wonder if the battery type is holding me up using a 357/simple silver button......
SMC 55/f1.8 takumar in nice shape needs a bit of outside cleaning.....

have a few of these.....very easy and convenient !! yes far focus goes out the window but works nicely within range and in some cases gives a shorter min focus distance which is neat
love the shamu and making thereof !! great stuff steve
