I recently purchased a used LF and it came with a Zeiss Tessar 6.3 210mm lens and Compur Press shutter. The shutter seams to work properly from around a 1/10th to 1/100th of second, however, there are two issues. One is the shutter sticks open at 1 second to a 1/5th of a second. The other issue is it's tougher to get the shutter to go to 1/200th and is very resistant but not impossible, when I do get the shutter speed set at 1/200th, it's tough to cock the setting lever at that speed. Once the shutter IS set, it seams to work properly when releasing the shutter. I question if it would be worth it to have if repaired by a reputable camera shop or attempt to open it up and experiment. Is this shutter worth getting it to function properly? Visually, it's in great condition but just not sure what would be a reasonable amount to spend to get it back to optimal operation. Anyone else had similar issues, if so, what did it cost? Hopefully may just need cleaning. Thanks!
