js1664886115 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 hi everyone i'm a beginner to manual cameras including the rollei 35b, which i've been using for about a week. right now i am able to extend the lens and click it into place, but when i press the shutter down nothing happens, and i'm not able to advance the lever. i've tried releasing the button on the bottom of the camera but that hasn't allowed me to advance the lever. any help/ideas/tips are appreciated. thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 When looking at lens does the shutter appear to be stuck in an open position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 No. I have a Rollei 35 LED which has the same shutter and lens as the Rollei 35B. Mine is stuck with an open shutter. I can remove the back and see through the lens. Once I unjammed it by fiddling with the linkage and got it to work, but as soon as I loaded a roll of film it promptly jammed again. I can also open and close the aperture. It's just the shutter that's stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
