Anyone know how to work on the syncs inside the MX?
IOW anyone have a repair manual available?

What I really need is a methodology for diagnosing
the system to locate and correct the issue.

Now who bought the SMC 200m f2.8*ED over at KEH? I was going to buy that! Oh
well, you snooze... He who hesitates... First come... Opportunity knocks...
Despite my previous claim I have just remembered I was going to buy this
lens but changed my mind and went for the FA200mm f2.8 (classed as
What's next Harry? I'm looking at the 100mm 2.8 and the 50mm 2.8 macro they
have, maybe you should move first! :-) It will save me money!
That brought a big smile to my face.
Before making any other purchases I am waiting to see what additional
taxes I have to pay on the lens when it arrives
Ok, I will be more specific about my KEH repairs experience (which happened about a
month ago). My MX had two problems:
1. lousy meter (inaccurate and drained batteries)
2. focusing -- what I saw in focus on the GG wasn't on the film.
I have contacted them (i.e. KEH) and asked if they can
Thomas,
I just purchased off ebay an MX that was Gold Level repaired by this
outfit:

The camera seems to be working perfectly and they looked to do a great
job. Ironically, I was just getting ready to send my other MX in to
them when I purchased this new one.

I'd be interested in what you find, since my MX could use a CLA for the
same reasons.
Doesn't leak light in the back, but the foam that pads the mirror when
it slaps up is nonexistent, and I'm not sure that the mirror stops are
still the way it should be.
Camera still works, though :-)

Hi Mat! (Is that a photo name? :-)

I guess watch this spot! The three places I mentioned seem like a good
place to start. And the webpage that Bruce mentioned looks promising,
if a bit expensive!
Good luck and enjoy that great
As I was playing with my new MX toys I noticed the back of one
of my MX bodies is not securing tightly. If I press the back near
where it latches (the side opposite from the hinge), it moves in
(and comes back out when I release the pressure). That can't be
right! :-) Well, at least my other
Hi BUTCH,
Thanks for the advice;
I checked my old ME Super and there was a bit of play...my K-1000,
same thing...It may just be part of the design. If you are not
showing signs of a light leak I wouldn't worry about it. They both
have more of a labyrinth light seal design...
But the
I can only recommend to stay away from KEH repairs. On the expensive side and very
unprofessional. Not to mention they didn't repair the problems that I have explicitely
listed, in TWO attempts (yes, that was an MX, still waiting for repair).

In my opinion you could try and get a K2 or KX... Just be sure it is in good
condition, because a lot of them are defect. It's a lot of camera for little money
though.

$220 seems OK if you prefer to keep working with a MX. But not $290.
Here a CLA is around 105-115 $ can + 15% tax. And that imply going
up to the shutter, so it's no big deal to replace the curtains once
you're there. I could ask for a quotation if you want to go on with
an MX as there are
Hi, Geordie,
I don't know where in Canada you live, but you may want to try Kominek's here in
Toronto (sorry to sound like a broken record, but I like these guys, and I'll
plug 'em whenever I can g):
http://www.kominek.com/index.html
You can e-mail them from the site, and in my experience,
If you want something reliable and require little service, opt for something
like Super A/program or Program A/Plus. Unlike the MX, you don't have to
worry about the accuracy of the shutter. Just bid one from eBay, if it
works, it works. No guessing.

Hi, John,
Hey, a Bluenoser on the list!! Woo-hoo! I was just down there a couple of
