Hi!
I have an OM-10 as my second film body and I use it quite rarely. Yesterday when
I took it from the closet for the first since august I found out that the
shutter speeds where not right.
I have manual adapter in my OM-10. At first the times where just insane. For
example 1/500 setting opened the shutter for at least 1/2 seconds! And 1/30
setting gave me about 1/250 second shutter speed. (I didn't have film in the
camera so I shot many shot with different shutter speed settings.)
After a short while (about 25 shots) the shutter speeds seemed to get to normal
again. Now I am wondering what was wrong with my camera? Could it be that the
electronic components (are they resistors in english? The quantity should be
"ohm") in manual adapter couldn't get a good contact? As I said, the body had
layed in the closet for more than 6 months unused... After I played with the
manual adapter the contacts might have become clean again? Does this sound as a
reasonable explanation or should I we worried that there is something wrong with
the body, and not in the manual adapter?
I have an another manual adapter but I couldn't test how the camera had worked
with that one, because I have attached the adapter to the body with glue. I did
this because I lost one adapter after it had fallen in the woods... This leads
to another question also: What chemical should I use to get that glue to let go
from the body and from the manual adapter? The adapter is glued with few drops
of strong and very fast drying glue.
Thanks!
Olli
