    I should have thought of cleaning the contacts! I'll try it tonight and let you know if that does it. The guy at ASAP photo said it is a battery dependant camera. The battery is required to fire the shutter. I'd like to fix this one and trade it in on a K1000 for astrophotography and night shots. The KS doesn't even have a bulb setting!

    Thanks for the help my friend!
