Having seen previous posts that indicate a few of you collect and use
the 35SP, I would like to get your input on a problem.
I recently purchased two 35SP cameras. The black one came from a
reputable vintage camera house (at a premium price) and was reported to
be in Ex++ condition. The other was from eBay and was reported to be in
perfect working order.
Each camera appeared to be in good physical condition. To test them, I
cocked and fired the shutters and each camera worked fine - once. Then,
neither would cock or fire again.
My question is, does the shutter rely on the battery in any way? Could a
low battery cause this problem. Is there a sensor that won't let it fire
if there is no film loaded? Has anyone had this problem. I just can't
believe I was taken by two separate dealers in just two weeks.
Thanks for your help.
