I've bought an G1 together with Sonnar T* 90/2.8 and Biogon T* 28/2.8 for 450€ (titan metallic version) used and in in cosemetically good condition.
I'm currently shooting the first slide film with it.
But I have a little problem - I'm not sure if it's broken.
The AF hunts a little even when the focus is set manually!? And when I use the camera in single shot mode it takes sometimes about 5-10s until the shutter is released, also when the focus is set manually with the wheel.
The ultra long shutter delay makes it real pain to use the camera.
Am I doing something wrong with the cam or is it somehow broken? _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester
