True- although dirt or oil on the blades will cause a shutter to stick, the same on the acutator rings (which is actually what moves the blades) is probably more often the real cause of sticking shutter. But of course you don't see those rings without completely disassembling a shutter. You do, however see the blades. And a few drops of naptha on the blades will usually (in my experience) be enough to also free up any oil-related friction on the actuator rings. Sometimes a complete overhaul is necessary, but if I am giving advice to someone who has no intention of ever doing a complete overhaul, I would mention the blades, but probably not the rings. |
