Re: mx shutter behavior
Collin, I have an article on MX shutter lever adjustments at: http://ca.geocities.com/spirope/mxmlu.htm Tiny alterations in the angle at which the actuating rod is set can greatly alter the behaviour of the camera. You can get mirror lockup by having the mirror lock-up by pressing slowly and gently on the shutter release (instead of flicking), or you can have the mirror not go up at all! It's a relatively easy adjustment to do (it must be, as it's one of the repairs I managed to do without messing up the camera.)
re: mx shutter behavior
I checked out a used MX last night. The shutter mechanism behaved in a way I've not seen before. But use the self timer and ... a) the mirror would only shudder a bit (9/10 times) when it fires b) the next shot would (9/10 times) do the same. After that point it would work fine. And under normal operation it worked fine. Couldn't get it to misfire at all. Thoughts? I am not very certain, but it could be the mirror assembly triggering arm of the self-timer was out of alignment somehow. The same arm is responsible for the cheated MLU with the MX.
