Hi there,
I'm in the midst of trying to sell some equipment that belonged to a family member who passed.
A lens I have has a shutter whose speed adjustment does not appear to be working correctly.
When setting the shutter to 'M' (as seen in the photos) then turning the small shutter speed wheel to different speeds, I see/hear no difference in the speed of the shutter.
Am I thinking correctly that the shutter speed is malfunctioning?
If this is malfunctioning is this type of issue repairable at a reasonable cost?
Thoughts in terms of selling, do you think having a shutter speed issue is a huge red flag for selling this lens?
Many thanks for your thoughts on this!
