Hasselblad 80mm f/2.8 CF Lens Repair. This lens came into the shop with multiple issues: focus ring goes through infinity by quite a bit, shutter sticking and shutter will not stay cocked. The focus problem was caused by someone who reassembled the lens in a way that was not too careful. Shutter sticking resolved by cleaning the interior mechanism. Shutter cocking issue caused by a broken cocking shaft which needed replacing. The last photo shows the broken shaft on the left and another one on the right with the intact notch which latches the shutter.
