I have a Regula Sprinty, or actually a Prinz Pilot E, bought on E-bay (I'm Swedish and bought it on Ebay.co.uk), the shutter doesnt seem to work as it should though. It worked when it wanted to , but now it doesnt seem to work at all.

I know very little about cameras but suceeded to open up the four screws in the film house, and there are like three arms and a spring. The spring seem to make one of the arms touch the other one. But when the arms are set back after have pressed the shutter button, it doesnt open.

What can I do?
Thanks for all help,
Dan

Nobody? If I touch one of the arms the "leafs" will open up a bit, but when I then press down the shutter there will still be a very small opening, so It will be light all the time, and hence not work
