Shutter leafs reversed - should I switch'em back ?

[btgc]

Hi, I'm continuing work on Konica S2 (there's main topic on this) though I realized that shutter leafs, looking from front, don't make that sophisticated pattern usually seen through front element. Instead of this, through front element I see simpler pattern, usually seen from film chamber and that sophisticated is seen from film chamber. I guess that anyone has imaginated what I mean....well, I'm dropping demo - this one I call "sophisticated pattern" - http://wiki.silvergrain.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core😀ownloadItem&g2_itemId=651

I knew somebody has been inside this S2, but Holy Grease, why so brutally ? That person should be as qualified in camera repair as I am 🙂

OK, what to do - just leave is it is or it's important from functional aspect ? In a word, is it A BIG DEAL ?
Shutter runs, including slow speeds....sure, I'll wait couple of days before assembling it back to be sure it runs well.

As repairman consulted me, there are _some_ shutters having reversed leaf arrangement, though if any other S2 have conventional, then mine appers to be assembled incorrectly. This is great opportunity to go down to shutter leafs and clean them completely.

In the end, I decided to go down to leafs....holy grease ! it's definitely worth doing, as all dirt from 40 years is sitting exactly there.
Those trying to do without experience - be VERY careful ! Lost parts...damaged parts....hey, some found parts ! something has to be fixed....Great patience develops from tinkering those old cameras 🙂
