When you rewind a Contaflex a door pops into the
film gate, the mirror comes down, and the shutter
opens up. This is a between the lens leaf shutter
and it has to be open to see through the viewfin-
der. When you release the shutter the shutter
closes, the mirror goes up, the door goes down,
and the shutter opens and closes again for the
time it was set for so what you are seeing is
almost normal.

If the shutter speeds are off the speed governer
should be accessible from the front. Assuming you
have the Compur shutter just google "compur shut-
ter repair" and you should find lots of info.

Good luck.
