It is a 35SE, although I don't think this makes any difference. All of a sudden the tubus will not take its quarter turn and thus would not retract into the body. And yes, I've been using the camera for quite awhile and thus I'm aware the shutter should be cocked. Before coming to the unpleasant conclusion that this requires major disassembly and thus is beyond me, is there perhaps some (relatively) easy try? Does the small hinged lever at 3 o' clock in the back of the lens mount have anything to do with it? I cannot see any other purpose for it.
