Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 - 05:13 pm:        Bought a Fujica 35-SE on auction recently, and (surprise) there is a problem. The shutter seems to be decoupled from the shutter button. It's weird though, there is no resistance from the shutter button, but the film advance lever won't move unless the button is pressed once. Also the light meter responds when the aperture and speed settings are changed on the lens. Any ideas on what might be the issue? I'm in no way a repair expert -- any help is much appreciated!
