I've succesfully shot a roll with my petri 7s which I recently bought. And then this morning, after firing off the shutter once, it got "stuck".
I wound the shutter fine but then nothing happens when I click the release. I tried to wind again but it's obvious nothing's happening coz there's no winding sound or that distinct clunk either.
I tried to adjust shutter and aperture rings and noticed that they were stuck as well. aperture just won't move, while shutter can only move a couple of stops back and forth.
Finally I looked at the lens and noticed that the shutter was stuck in a half-open position (see pics).
I tried to open up the camera but I think I only made things worse coz a spring got detached somewhere in the base and I don't know where it's supposed to go (see pics).
Any ideas from would be appreciated. I really love this camera.
At first glance, noting the length of the spring and the hook, it looks like it might possibly hook around the post at the upper left of the camera bottom (under your index finger) as looking at the picture. There seems to be no other logical place for the spring. Just a guess...
