PS did oyu fix your auto 110? See no. 281909014758 otherwise

I did, got some shots on Flickr. I tweaked the shutter cocking lever and its fine. Got a spare Auto 110 if you fancy giving it a go?

Thanks but no, am trying to fix the flash on the MX, made some progress but discovered I also have a couple of dodgy PC cables, think they have been kinked too many times. Explains one really underexposed shot I had from my last 120 film, think I was trying to use fill flash which seems not to have gone off.

MX? Easy fix do you think?

Hopefully, should be busted connections at either the sync switch or the front PC port, not terribly easy to get to though.

Is the MX a Pentax?

johnnyrod · 22-01-16, 09:33 PM

Yep, a classic, got a meter but is 100% mechanical. It's even a black one which are the more sought after. PK mount lenses, it's a really lovely piece of kit.

You like fixing stuff. Fancy a go at the Auto M?

johnnyrod · 22-01-16, 10:39 PM

To be honest I've lost track of that one, what's the deal? I could have a look but I'm trying to keep my life free of stuff for the next few months in the potentially-vain hope I am working up towards a big exam. It might cost you, my fee is measured in Lynxes... kidding

The shutter was gummed up. I thought I had to remove the mech cover and now I can't set the shutter speed or aperture properly. I'll get there in the end, I keep trying different things and slowly working it out. Camera only cost £2.50
