I want to keep it that way. If I am not shooting it for a while what is the best setting for the focal plane shutter where it is least likely to suffer. On a lens shutter people usually say B or T setting and not cocked. I was thinking the equivalent here would be on the lowest tension number and set to T. I have looked around for an answer to this but haven't yet found one, though I apologize if this is the typical greenhorn question answered fifty times already. Thank you, Adam |
