joeseph "smells like turd"  More info | Nov 08, 2010 14:11 | #10 take the lens off and eyeball what happens when you push the shutter when you set shutterspeed to a few seconds. does the mirror flip up? does it stay up? can you see the shutter opening & closing? some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Had to have the shutter replaced by Canon. Worked great after that. Note: I tried all the remedies that folks mentioned to me and now to you. Nothing helped so I sent it in. Thank goodness for warranty. Sounds like it's going getting er99 7d gripped,40d gripped,G9,17-40f4L, 24-70f2.8 L, 70-200f2.8 mkll L, 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L, 50f1.4 , 85f1.8 , Sigma 24-70f2.8
