..the paddle on the camera
front standard that trips the shutter travels full distance when
a cable release is used to push the body "trigger" in.
When the lens is then mounted on the body, the vertical
travel of that front standard paddle is limited.
With the lens mounted does the thumb-plunger of the cable
release go down all the way? If so, then the problem may
be slack in the mechanics. When there is no force (no shutter)
the slack doesn't get taken up. With the lens mounted
even a slight force from the trip lever is enough to take
up the slack.
Without the lens mounted try depressing the cable release all
the way and then lifting the paddle - if it goes up a 1/4 inch
or so with not much force then the problem may be:
1) Not enough travel in the cable release to overcome the
slack
2) The cable release may be stroking the body release mechanism
as far as it will go, but the slack is in the body release
mechanism and/or the paddle cable.
3) A combination of 1 & 2.
If it really is binding you should see if the binding is in
the cable release - does it work freely with force applied to
the pin - or in the body release and cable. If the cable
release is binding you can try a few drops of oil - SAE 30
as you put in the car is the best; avoid 3-in-1, WD40
and 'penetrating oil' -- they will free the mechanism
quickly but they turn to gum in a few months.
