Anyone on here got experience fixing film cameras? 😅

Took the voigtlander vf135 out today & noticed the shutter blades were stuck open after taking a photo 👎

Seems to only be a problem on the fastest shutter speeds

Some good (old) info here. In the past my old dad (a keen amateur) swore by lighter fuel carefully applied by cotton bud. Definitely don't use any lubrication on blades themselves. It will always leave a residue.
