I got a broken Hi-matic 9 from a friend for free. I already have experience from cleaning the shutter on Canonet, and this was obviouly the same problem - the shutter leaves were sticky. I decided to clean it properly, so I separated lens from the body, removed all glass from lens and flushed the leaves with naphta and then brushed with cotton sticks. Here is a picture taken just 5 minutes ago:  The shutter seems to work now, from 1s to 1/500s. However there are some problems: - B works more like a 1/4s and it doesn't stay open - aperture diaphragm doesn't move at all when I move the aperture ring I don't care much about the B, but the aperture bothers me. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ondrej |
