Hi all,
I recently acquired a Fujica 35ml (which I almost certainly overpaid for). Unfortunately the shutter came just a tad sticky such that it sticks closed occasionally and the fastest shutter speeds sometimes are a bit slow. There is usually a delay when the shutter fires as well.
I can see a small amount of oil on the shutter blades, but am unable to open up the infernal thing to get at it. I purchased all the basic tools to work on the camera, but haven't found any clear instruction that describes my particular model or lens. I can get the first ring and front element off, but can find no way forward. There are no notches to insert the lens spanner anywhere else that I can see and I don't want to start forcing things.
This is my first attempted camera repair, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated
