[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just acquired a Hexar RF, and after completing the first roll and during a walk back to my car, the lens fell off, landing on the asphalt. I had a DR Summicron attached. Left two small nicks and crunched the filter (I'm glad I had that insurance policy in effect.) But otherwise no ill effects. After searching for the cause, it seems the lens release button on the Hexar needs a lot less pressure to release, and there is no guard around the button. Has anyone with an RF seen something similar before? I know I'm going to be paranoid from now on, double checking that the button hasn't been pressed. Any way to adjust it so it takes significantly more pressure before releasing? - -R
