Fujica GS645 owners know, that they should not try to fold the camera before the film is advanced (and the shutter is cocked) and the focus is set to infinity. It might damage the system. But, nevertheless, the system might be damaged even if one does so. When I took my camera out of the cupboard after some months of rest, the shutter/aperture system was dead. It had worked some months before.
I managed to get the shutter working again http://www.120folder.com/fuji_gs645_shutter.htm but the aperture doesn't close. I ordered the repair manual, there is a lot of information in it about getting the body apart, calibrating the rangefinder and the electronic exposure help system, but nothing about the shutter/aperture system itself.
The aperture ring moves easily and it's still related to the electronic exposure help system, so moving the ring changes the values, but the blades stay open, it seems to be F4. Any ideas? I live in France and Germany, a repair person would be welcome as well.
