Our 6-year-old Minox 35EL has developed a shutter problem. The shutter
sticks, usually closed but sometimes open.
A repairman unstuck it temporarily (lasted a few months) and said a real
repair would involve sending it for a new shutter mechanism, about $60.
The camera cost about $200 new, 6 years ago.
Questions:
1. Has anyone else had this problem? Suggestions on solving it?
2. If we decide to replace it rather than repair it, what is a good very
small and lightweight camera? (We use the Minox as a pocket camera
when we don't want to carry our big 35mm.)
Please mail me replies. I'll summarize to USENET, if there is interest.
Thanx,
