I just received my Yashica today. It was working perfectly until I switched it to B mode. While switching it I accidentally twisted the entire lens instead of the ring and now that shutter won't open any ideas?

The wires have been cut if it turned very far.

anyway to fix it? I seriously had for 5 minutes before this happened, I really want to try out a rangefinder. It was the last $45 bucks I had.

Replacing the wires is a MAJOR job.

I have the same problem, though i was thinking it might be possible to just add slight extentions to the wires via soldering to reconnect the severed wires? or am i far off in this.

I've opened mine up through the lens and the green wire is cut. The wires are fairly taut so it will be a challenge to try to solder them. Does this wire have anything to do with the shutter or is that another problem? I can manually close and open the shutter, however I can't figure out what exactly isn't letting the shutter close back up again.
ps. Sure it's time consuming but everyone I talk to acts like its extremely difficult when it really isn't.

I FIXED IT!!!!! If you have a problem get your hands dirty, even if you fail, you can always buy another one. It's worth a shot.
Here's the guide I used.

Scroll down to the shutter section. Remember that every problem may have a different solution so be careful and good luck.

You're a braver man than I, blowcarrot! Congratulations. Now let's see the output. Some photos, please.

I still have a couple shots left in this roll, so I'm getting up early tommorow to finish it up. I'm quite proud to be a broke college student yet still using film. I'm going to try to round up $ to get this roll developed. I think I have several quarters in my dresser, and I know I have three bucks in my old jeans. I should be able to scrounge up enough. : )
