I managed to remove the shutter assembly and when I tested it off the camera it worked perfectly !!! so there must be a fault in the linkage in the body of the camera. To get at the shutter assy. the lens surround plate with Zeiss Ikon on the front must be removed. On examination it seems to be impossible But no, behind the shutter speed setting wheel there is a hole that is covered by the leather trim the goes around the edge of the front cover. Inside the hole is a small grubscrew, unscrew this about four turns. Now do the same on the other side on the aperture setting wheel. The plate then pulls off to expose the shutter assembly. With the lens surround plate removed it is then possible to adjust the focus at infinity by screwing the viewing lens in or out.
