That's not going to work very well!! You need to try to free it off, but also I'd check the screw-hole where a remote lead goes in (if fitted) - once my Lubitel did the same thing and a part of the remote lead had actually got stuck in there; keeping the shutter open... Cleared it out and it worked fine. Hope it's something simple! Chris... We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

You are better off with a Rolleicord or Yashica. A 1000 days of sorrow can disapear in a split second, it takes only one person to make it happen.
