Posted on Sunday, October 17, 2010 - 10:12 am:        So the newly aquired Mamiya C33 with 4 black lenses wasn't really the bargain I thought. The 80mm's shutter was sticky but I got it cleaned with lighter fluid. Works perfectly now. The 135 and the 180mm unfortunately have the back elements full of fungus and that lens group doesn't separate. I tried today to clean the 65mm and got easy acces from the back. Cleaned the shutter blades and it worked until the lighter fluid evaporated. I can see some oil on th front of the shutter blades but can't go in trough the front. Any instruction how to get in from the front or to remove the entire shutter?   Eugennmezei Tinkerer Username: Eugennmezei Post Number: 9 Registered: 10-2010 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Sunday, October 17, 2010 - 11:15 am:        Oh, now I see it: Two little screws on the sides of the front assembly accesible through holes in the plastic "8" holding the taking and viewing lens together. Can somebody tell me if this are screws that just hold the lens by friction (the pointy ones) or do I have thread in the lens too? I want to know if I need to readjust something when reassembling before I remove the front assembly.
