From: Ray Moth <ray_moth@xxxxxxxxx> writing in part:
Flying strings can occur in any OM-2S and may be seen at shutter speeds
around 1/15 sec. The procedure I've used to test for flying strings is:
* ensure there is no film in the camera
* remove the lens
* open the camera back
* cut to size and fix a piece of translucent (grease-proof) paper where
the film would normally lie (being careful not to interfere with the
shutter curtains in any way)
* leaving the back open, aim the camera at a bright light source
* fire the shutter repeatedly at 1/15 sec. and watch the grease-proof
paper screen to catch a glimpse of the shadow of the flying strings
* breathe a sigh of relief if no shadow appears.
Interesting, Ray. Have you ever detected flying shutter strings in this way
on any OM-2S? Not meaning any disrespect, but I'm just wondering how you
are sure that it works. Thanks.
Joel W.
