To change the shutter speed, I lift the dial upwards, turn it to a new setting, and let it drop back down to its normal position (with the bottom of the dial resting more or less directly on the body's top plate). But on the 1/1000 speed position, the dial drops back down only part-way, leaving a slight gap (1 mm or so) between the top plate and the bottom of the dial. Could this be related to the problems I've having at that speed, or is this normal for a IIIf? --Andrew >> Absolutely normal for screw-mount cameras with 1/1000 speed.
