I have a pristine Agfa Isolette that performed flawlessly on the first roll of film. Now the shutter release mechanisim will not trip the shutter. The shutter works, because I can trip it with a knife blade. It appears the shaft leading from the button to the bottom of the camera does not move far enough to trip the shutter.

Advice please.
Thanks for your help
Steven

Has the shutter rotated in the holder and now the lever does not align up. Some also have a lock unless you wind the film.
