Ambitious, but rubbish
I won a rather nice Rollei 35 LED off of eBay, but there is a problem with the shutter. A little tinkering has led me to discover that the spring which snaps the shutter closed is either loose, broken or missing. My question is, how do I get to the spring? I have a repair manual, but it doesn't cover the LED specifically and is rather hard for me to decipher. From what I can gather, it looks as though if I loosen some screws from the back of the lens, inside the camera, I will be able to take the front off and reach the spring. Also, assuming the spring is broken or missing, how can I obtain a replacement?
As a side note, I was also wondering about the aperture setting on the LED models, as the ring does not have the usual detents. Is this normal for this model, because of the way the metering works? Or is there another problem with it?
thanks in advance.
