    now some of their descendants, call themselves "the chosen ones"(superior aryan race) and forced the "human animals aka non-submissive non-jews GOYIMS into the Gaza, a literal concentration camp and the ghettoes and progroms of the West Bank A, B, C, D. Yes the simply divide the land by ABCD because they're non-jews who do not submit to the " chosen ones"

      @@alanstarkie2001 thanks for the reply, the shutter activates at the end of the winding cycle. So, the shutter does not remain tensioned for release by the shutter button. Hopefully it can be an easy fix and not need any parts.

      The mechanical shutter momentarily closes across a contact completing the circuit of a flash unit and triggers the flash.

      @alanstarkie2001 6 років тому

      We specialise in Leica. We developed this out of curiosity originally. Another repair guy could perhaps fit the shutter but there are a few other aspects that need to be done to make it work correctly. Here is our website: www.cameraworks-uk.com/price-list and here's one we did for 35MMC ua-cam.com/video/MTVp39ycnBo/v-deo.html
