Thanks for the suggestions.
I took the bottom off the 4Ti and removed the gear train, after that I
reassembled with a second body next to it, so I could see how everything has
to line up.
I shot a slide film to check the timing, and as far as I can tell, all
slides are exposed spot-on, in different light situations. Now another
problem appeared, I can sometimes wind twice, resulting in 5 blank frames on
a roll of 36, this happens without a pattern. Any indications what might
cause this to happen? And a soution? If this would be a gummy wind latch as
well, I think I'll have to send it in for service.
