Posted on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 - 03:50 pm:        I just purchased a Kodak Retina Automatic III from Ebay a few days ago. It seems to be in great shape with one exception. When I wind the film lever and depress the shutter release, I hear a click but the shutter does not move. The aperture rings open and close as they should but the shutter never budges. I would like to get in there and clean the shutter but cannot figure out how to get the lense off. I am assuming it is probably the shutter blades but am not positive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.   Finnegan Tinkerer Username: Finnegan Post Number: 47 Registered: 09-2009 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
