[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have an SL with a scratched up screen. Can the screen be easily replaced, or is it a factory job? Also, many of the slides I took last month in Kodiak with the SL have a camera shake problem. I used a 280 f4.8 Telyt, mounted on a Slik U8000 tripod - somewhat small for the SL/280 combo, but I always strapped my camera bag over the tripod to weight things down. That approach worked perfectly for my M6 long exposures in dark, emerald green forests. Those slides are all very sharp. A couple of times with the SL, I could actually see the front of the lens shudder when the mirror went up. I've shot B&W with the Telyt handheld at 1/500th or faster and have gotten exceptionally sharp photos, so the lens does not seem to be the problem. Has anyone had camera shake problems with the SL? Is there a mirror movement or dampening mechanism on the SL that could be out of adjustment? Any way to retrofit an SL with mirror lockup? Thanks, Gary Todoroff
