Hi, Bill, Thanks. With mine, the little lever that you cock the shutter with (the cocking lever?) is slow to return to rest, and the shutter seems to only fire at one speed (a fairly fast one) no matter what speed I set the dial to. No problem with the shutter blades being "hung up".
I have a feeling that my problem is in the shutter mechanism itself, rather than sticky blades. I appreciate your help, but before I start putting stuff on the blades, I think I'll have a pro look at it. Once I'm past feeling comfortable about a repair, I'm always worried that I'll make things worse, costing me more in the long run. But once again, thanks anyway! regards, frank "Bill D.
