The lens of my Rollei 35 is stuck in the out position (yes, I do know that the shutter needs to be cocked to retract it). The button that releases the lens barrel seems to be moving as it should.

The weird thing is, after manípulating the camera for a while and trying and trying and trying (without forcing anything), all of a sudden the lens will suddenly rotate and retract. When it does so, everything is very smooth and there is not the slightest resistance. But take the lens out again, and we're back to square one.

Anything I could do?
