I have a graphex optar 127mm lens, which I have not used for several years. I recently tried the camera. Shutter release on the camera does not appear to put enough pressure on the shutter release to fire. I have to press manually somewhat hard to release the shutter. Also it appears the shutter is firing at one speed(high) regardless of speed setting. Is this lens salvageable? Is there anything I can do clean the shutter or lubricate? The lens and shutter blades are clean devoid of fungus or oil.One site quotes a price of $100.00. Is it worth it?
Thanks for your help. By the way the camera is Graflex Crown Graphic in great shape.
