ilkka_osmala Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Would anyone have an idea what might be the reason for this problem? Camera is winded but shutter can not be pushed in. I opened it up but couldn't figure out what is causing this? Here is a video:http://youtu.be/q2leafwz6vY Can it be spring related? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 <p>The auxiliary shutter (barn doors) aren't closing properly. This is an indication that the body needs cleaning and lubrication. Put all the pieces together, or in a plastic bag, and ship the body to a recognized service facility. I find that Hasselblad in New Jersey does good work at competitive prices.</p> <p>The barn doors are actuated by relatively weak hairpin springs. Any stiffness or lack of lubrication affects them.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagesax Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 A really great video. I've fixed this problem a few times. I did my own Hassy repairs, however I don't repair cameras as a camera repair service. Hasselblad in New Jersey can surely fix this, but I'd rather send it to a member of this forum named David Odess and support him. He is factory trained and my guess his turnaround time will be faster. Google David. It should pop up on the first page. Google David Odess, Hasselblad repair. By the way, don't attempt to repair this yourself. It can get kind of complicated, mainly the timing between the upper and lower shutter curtain. For example it's pretty easy to screw up the alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_osmala Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks for all tips. Is the "shutter button not working" problem related to "auxiliary shutter not closing properly"? Or are those separate issues? As you can see I can not push shutter release button in without manually releasing internal locking. So shutter can not be operated at all when it's put back together. I am located in Finland so it would be better if I try to find local repair shop. Thanks for advices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasselblad technician Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 <p>The problem with the release arm not releasing and the auxiliary shutters not closing all the way are not related, and are separate issues. Any competent Hasselblad technician can correct these problems for you.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerkko_kehravuo Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 <p>Ilkka,</p> <p>Jukka Kelotie at Rajala´s workshop at Helsinki Downtown is probably the best service available. Trained Hasselbald machanic with factory manuals, tools, etc.</p> <p>Terveisin, Kerkko.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_osmala Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 <p>Thanks Kerkko. I didn't know Rajala has this service available.<br> I already send it to "local" service shop (Kamerahuolto Mustonen & Laine)<br> Just got it back and now it works very well. Fluid and snappy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
