Hi everyone this site is great. I hope someone can lead me in the right direction. I just bought a Minolta himatic 7s. It is in near perfect cosmetic condition and I can't believe it doesn't work. The problem is with the shutter- it doesn't open when the button is depressed. It was working sporadically but now nothing. I really think it's some linkage issue dealing with the shutter button release as I have seen it work properly for a short while. I am hesitant to take such a beautiful camera apart but if I can't use it it does me no good. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've looked at the other postings regarding Himatics and am concerned about losing proper lens focus if I start by disassembling the lens. Furthermore I have seen the shutter open and the aperature blades stop down in conjuction with each other and also just the aperature work alone. |
