Has any Ricoh GR owner here encountered the problem below:
A) Power on the camera but the aperture mechanism remains close so the LCD just displays black screen.
B) Push the shutter button and take a black screen photo then the aperture mechanism opens and camera operates normally.
C) If camera is turned off or goes to sleep mode (that is the lens mechanism retracts) then start from step A again.
The camera has not been dropped or bumped hard (AFAIK).
If any GR owner has encountered this same problem, did the camera recovered normal operation (aperture open at power on) eventually or did you go for lens/shutter assembly replacement (I asked Ricoh and it would cost more than half the cost of a 2nd hand GR unit from B&S).
Thanks.
