For the pair to operate correctly the alignment pins must be properly seated and the base of the camera and the top of the winder must lie completely flat against each other. There can be several reasons that this is not the case. Firstly check for debris in any of the receptors, check that the gold electrical pins on the winder the contacts on the base of the body are clean. Also if the assembly has been over-tightened at some stage the top of the winder could be warped or the cover on the base of the camera could be distorted preventing the units from fitting together intimately. Look very carefully at the gaps as you put together the two pieces. Other than that it could possibly be a pair of mechanical mis-alignments that prevent this particular set of components working together reliably. Good luck, Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
