shutter release problem on Rollei 35RF

[fuwen]

The trigger release of my 35RF (a Voigtlander Bessa R2) is giving me problems lately. Quite often I cannot release the shutter even when fully depress the release. But seems after the deep release the next release action will release the shutter normally. At first I thought was the trigger winder was giving me problem but I am still getting the same problem after removing the trigger release.

However the shutter release seems OK when tested without film. Can I do something myself or the body needs some servicing?

No body encounters the same problem?

Anyway, I found out if I run into the release problem mid roll, I will just need to do a cocking of the shutter with the rewind button depress (like the way we do for double exposures) somehow 'resets' the shutter to normal. So will live with the problem for the time being.

So it turned out to be a shutter problem. I got the shutter unit replaced and now the problem finally solved. Bad luck.
