With the shutter cocked on auto and in the manual mode the aperture blades are always closed to either the aperture dictated by the light meter or the preselected opening, this relative opening until it stops depends on a linkage system mounted to a brass plate right behind the front panel. Its movement when the shutter button is operated can be seen from underneath if you take off the bottom plate. Maybe one of the springs has come unhooked there or is broken. For a closer look or a repair you will have to take the camera apart in a manner like shown here http://samsul.hp.infoseek.co.jp/35rd.html(pic 4) or http://homepage1.nifty.com/fukucame/tips/35rd_t.htm (pic 3) |
