Dear Zs,
Tonight I went out to shoot with my OM-4. Put on the 135mm f3.5 and took
one shot, wound on and fired off another and the camera locked up. Got the
spare set of 357s from the bag and replaced the ones in the camera, no good
still locked. Tried the usual trick of setting the shutter to red 60, still
locked up. When I got home I attempted to remove the lens, it turns 5-10
degrees then won't move any further ! The camera continues to wind,
actually the shutter blinds move across when I wind then flip back just
before I complete the wind stroke. The mirror isn't right down but does
appear to move somewhat as I can see an out of focus light move through the
viewfinder when I wind. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this
problem ? How can I get the 135mm off the body. Is this a fatal problem or
merely a hiccup ?
