XH A1 Iris Ring - Not turning smoothly
My XHA1 Iris ring on the camera is not turning smoothly any more, especially from the one side. I can still turn it no problem, but it feels very 'gritty' as though whatever action underneath it has worn away. I do use it quite a lot, especially from the left side if I'm holding the camera; I use my middle/index finger to push it up and down.
Has anyone ever had this problem with their XHA1 Is this a part that can be fixed/maintained easily? thanks |

Sounds like sand, Martin. There is a post in here talking about your problem. Recommend using the search.

To be honest, it just fels as though what the ring was 'gliding' on before underneath, has just worn. thanks |

Martin, you might get a better idea what it is by putting your ear next to it while turning it at different speeds. Even put a mic on it and boost it thru phones.
I think if it was worn it'd have a 'grating' sound and if it worries you that would cause a trip into the shop. Cheers.
