Hi all. First post here, so please be gentle. I just got a Crown Graphic with a standard Graphex 135mm/f4.7 lens and the shutter release doesn't seem to be working. The body release on the camera doesn't work, but from what I could find on the internet, this is not too much of a surprise. What's more concerning is that the cable release with the lens shutter doesn't work, meaning I press down and the shutter never opens. The only way I can get the shutter to work is when I press directly on the release lever on the lens itself. I've tried 3 different cables and none of them works. Is this a common issue, or something I could tinker with myself? Is there something stupid I could be doing that would prevent the cable release from working? I kind of need to decide quickly whether or not I want to return the setup, and I'm leaning towards returning it as it was advertised to be working. Thanks for your advice and I'm looking forward to posing more interesting questions in the future.
