Hey everyone, Playing with an MX. I got into photography with a ZX-M so I am a bit spoiled by its automation so I have what is really a question about any mechanical camera. I was fiddling with the MX when the film advance lever lost its recoil and the film counter disk above the lever "stuck" and would jump erratically with movement of the lever. I realized that this occurred when I had hand tightened the rotating disk on top of the film advance lever. So, it was pretty obvious that this disk was overtightened and screwing up everything. I had to fashion a paper clip tool to loosen the disk and all was well. So, my question is how loose should the disk on top of the film advance lever be? I ask this because it seems to spin loose quite easily and I just spin it back with my finger. It's not a big deal but why did the engineers design something to be so finicky? Thanks for the mechanical and historical information.
