I have just got a Rolleiflex 3.5
The shutter is stuck: it won't shot. The shutter release button also behaves oddly, I would say: instead of a clean pressing, when you press it it depresses but then "recovers" (comes back to its normal position) little by little, instead of easily, which is how I suppose it should do.
Anyway, my main question is about the shutter. What could be the reason for not shoting? Is it likely that it might be only dirt? Is it something I could try to repair myself? (I do have some experience repairing little things in cameras)
Thanks |

from your description,it sounds like the camera is suffering from lack of use and is "gummed up". A drop of lighter fluid, or similar solvent at the trip button should solve that problem, but the shutter not tripping is something else. If it is gummed up, it is not a repair for the untrained. |
