In this video, I demonstrate how to fix a stuck shutter on a Canon Canonet QL25 rangefinder 35mm film camera.
Don't be a stranger, say hello or something! Let me know if this worked for you, or better yet, if you have any tips to add to make it easier for the next guy ripping this thing apart.

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography. It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that. Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency go watch 'The Art of Photography' (love that show). These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv clicker.
