Hey TPF
I recently purchased a nice F3HP, the body is beautiful, I'm not sure if it was rebuilt or just not used, but it appears to be like new. I shot about half a roll yesterday until the light went away, then decided to play with all the buttons and knobs, to familiarize myself with the controls.
When I got to the ASA/ISO dial I was disturbed by the slight resistant, grainy feeling to the ISO dial, ASA is not too bad, but noticeable. The dials are movable and I can select the speed and exposure I want, but it's just not as smooth as I would have anticipated.
Do any of you F3 shoots out there have a similar problem? Do you just live with it?
After some research, I found one source that said it was a broken glass ring, inside the assembly. Can you verify this?
