John Salim Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi all, Does anybody know what the small round socket directly beneath the lens mount is for ? It's normally plugged with a short black plastic 'pin' ( probably to stop light getting in the gate ). There seems to be two electrical contacts inside the hole. .......possibly for a synch flasher ?

Cheers, Jean-Louis Actually Jean-Louis, Only this morning I got a problem with the camera's eye piece shutter. It's jammed half way ( closed - with no view ), and have tried to remove the external magazine saddle from on top of the camera. I've managed to remove all visable screws ( so I can remove all four of the small screws on the viewfinder 'tube' ) but it's still solidly on there. Is the magazine saddle glued on too ? Any ideas how I can procede ? Many thanks for your help in advance. John S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
