I've just acquired one of these. It's in quite good condition
externally (no glass scratches, almost no dust specks, v.little paint
loss, a couple of dings in the base) but I'm not sure it's working quite
right.
Mainly it's the flash mode: it doesn't seem to want to open the aperture
at all, regardless of focus distance, film speed or GN setting. Is
there some specific procedure for engaging this mode that I don't know
about?
Also, I can't tell the difference between F/11 and F/16 and the aperture
indicator in the viewfinder reads 1/2 - 1 stop smaller than the actual
aperture (or maybe the aperture ring is out of alignment and reads
over?)
The auto exposure meter agrees with my 2sp (if I assume the aperture
indicator is wrong).
I guess a good clean would be in order in any case.
Helpful comments welcome.
