Far from the least revered, though. Great little camera! >However, I believe that the shutter mechanism is now in need of oiling. It >seems to be over-exposing at the faster shutter speeds. Yikes! Oiling is the *last* thing that you should do to a shutter! Gives the same effect as oil on lens diaphragm blades: Makes it stick. >Is this something I can do myself and if so, how and with what lubricant? Nope. Shutter probably needs adjustment. A regular CLA (Cleaning, Lubrication - of the camera as a whole, not the shutter! - and Adjustment) should take care of it. >If not, can anyone suggest a good camera repair company or individual >somewhere close to New York City?
