Posted on Sunday, August 14, 2011 - 11:57 pm:        I'm new to taking apart old cameras, this is the first one I've attempted. So far, after some research, I've removed all the glass front and rear: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tgCQekbGFnw5waou2iVk7I96ePVQHpJIjews7sMGfg c?feat=directlink Now I want to get the whole lens barrel with shutter off. as seen here: http://endoscopy.jp/moto/camera/camera_repair/fujica35se/index.htm http://kanscamera.sakura.ne.jp/html/p246.html Can anyone help with this? At first, one aperture blade was stuck open, I carefully used some 100% acetone to clean it, and now it opens and closes freely with the rest of them. The problem now is that it stops 1mm short of opening fully: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9N67c_b6U5KEIG0a5OgehY96ePVQHpJIjews7sMGfg c?feat=directlink https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/_xCZGRi5PrhJCwa-bBrSIY96ePVQHpJIjews7sMGfg c?feat=directlink I'm thinking that removing the whole barrel will give me a better look at what is going on.   Scott Tinkerer Username: Scott Post Number: 156 Registered: 07-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

If one blade is not behaving symmetrically, it may likely have a broken pivot. Even if it just needs to be fit back into its slot, it will still be a very tedious job to fix. But do-able!
