<p>Hello,<br /> So I just bought an almost mint condition Minox 35 GT-E in original case and cardbox. Even the original batteries seem to work correctly. Everything seems to work and is intact.<br /> Except when I tried f2.8 and f16 and don't see the blades open and closing :(. This should be the case, right? <br />When I take off the back and make a test shoot I see the shutter is working. With 2.8 the shutter is quicker and with f16 the shutter takes longer, but the blades seem to stay the same.<br /> Any advice? Can I fix this by opening the lens? If so how?<br /> Happpy shooting and a great weekend!<br /> regards,</p>

@j r bernstein did you find a way to get inside the lens ? I have an almost mint Minox 35 GT-E but the Aperture ring doesn't make the blades go open and closed. I hope I can fix this myself any info on getting intonthe lens would be great. Happy shooting and a fine weekend

<p>Hello,<br> I just bought this Contax RTS but it doesn't have the rewind handler. As the Contax is in fact a Yashica body, can I replace the rewind handler with a Yashica rewind handler, if so which type should I look for??<br> Second question could anyone type this RTS? I have looked at the google images for the Contax RTS and mine seems to be the only one with a "ribbled" body.<br> <br />Regards<br> <img src="http://s33.postimg.org/hg2jkcq3v/thumb_IMG_8042_1024.jpg" alt="" width="135" height="180" /><br> <img src="http://s33.postimg.org/f8yawfktn/thumb_IMG_8043_1024.jpg" alt="" /></p>
