When you open up the lense from the back turn the apeture ring and notice the to close the blades a part of the cam pushes against a pin/screw that pushes against another pin which has a spring pushing against it (the spring is around another pin/screw and pushing against a different one). Apparently when that spring wears out it doesn't push the pins back when the cam is moved to the open apetures. Change the spring and it should work just fine. But now for my question: I fixed said spring and put lense back as I found but now the shutter doesn't trigger or release. What did I miss?
