Bronica S2 Shutter fires immediately as cocked

SWB · Sep 17, 2018

Hello all,

Quick question here. Answer may be user idiocy. I have a Bronica S2 that works fine in all respects except that it fires as the shutter cocks. Any idea whats going on here? Would really appreciate any advice out there.

Shutter release button stuck in? Is the cable release integrated with the shutter release button, if not, something stuck in the cable release socket? Is there some kind of "safety lock" a part of the shutter button? could it be pressed in and then locked in?

All good questions and I don't believe so on all fronts. Thanks!

Does it do it at all shutter speeds including B?
Does it fire with the lens removed or the film holder removed?
I/we assume you are turning the wind lever until it stops.
