Anyone ever had a Contax 159mm apart? I have one that won't fire the shutter despite the fact that the battery check and metering lights all work fine. It doesn't work using the self timer either even though this flashes and runs through its cycle normally - just no shutter release at the finish.

Any ideas please?

Ok, looks like I'm on my own with this one.

Partially stripped it down and found the fault. The shutter armature/magnet was stuck after freeing and cleaning now seems fine.

Anyone want more details let me know.
