Hello,
can anyone point on how to disassemble Konirapid MFX shutter on Konica III - is it similar to Copals, where I'd take off whole lens assembly from body, unscrew retaining ring to remove rear group and then there is back cover, containing shutter and aperture blades? Thank you in advance.

That guys were smart! Retaining ring on rear element, reachable from film chamber, lets shutter assembly fall out of lens barrel.
Leatherette on Konica III is very brittle, so thanks I don't need to remove whole front unit.

Now I'm proceeding with quest of freeing stuck self timer :-)
