Hi everyone
I've used a lens that has been in the bag unused for a while, and noticed that the timing on the shutter is all over the place. Anyone know someone who can service a shutter and get it running properly again?
Thanks
Paul

I use Camserve in Herstmonceux regularly and in the past I've used Black on White in Bristol. Both come recommended.

If you feel brave enough try using a small amount of lighter fluid on the mechanism located under the front plate, works for me every time.

B on W will be fine with a very modern shutter
however, old Compounds etc and anything maufactured earlier than 20 years ago - forget it, I'm afraid....................
