Thanks, I found it too and nearly defecated with joy, but zoom in on the view of the lens from inside the camera - straight-edged leaves, same as a Canonet. Your Retinette presumably has a German shutter of some sort rather than Copal?

Yeah, it was a Prontor -LK so no good for what you want. Guess you may need to keep looking for another. I have been hunting but not seen one. The same seller has a Yashica J for sale as well.

If you are looking at the pic with the film door open then what you can see is the aperture not the shutter blades.

Yes - it's the aperture blades I need.

Just ignore me! Really fancy a Polaroid.

Well so far I haven't been able to get the Fujica GA to fire so I have swapped out the lens into the fungus infested GEr and will keep the GA as spares to feed the GEr. Shame really, nice cameras. Have a film loaded so will see if I got the focus right! Any joy on your Konica S?
I also attempted to spool 35mm onto a 127 reel with the backing paper but it went a bit on the squiff. Will serve as a test though.

Edit

Just read that the Fujica has an electromagnetic shutter. Maybe that's why it wouldn't fire. Will reassemble at some point and test.

The one you posted has an f2.8 lens, mine is f1.8 so as far as I know (no flamin' info out there) I need another f1.8-ish shutter. Easy, eh?

The electromagnet holds the shutter open, will it not fire at a fixed speed with no battery? A Yashica Elestro 35 will for example. You can usually get the fungus of with a mixture of ammonia and peroxide, I have these if you wanted to send either the camera/lens or just the glass elements.

Snowing now i.e. camera weather!
