Recently acquired this Fuji GSX617. Interesting camera, uses interchangeable lens boards, this one has a 105mm lens installed.
Shutter needed some light cleaning. The Copal 0 appears to be a standard shutter but with close examination (as seen in photo three) you can see the small micro switch installed in the shutter at around the eight o’clock position. This is to give feedback to the camera for the electronic shutter release. Although this is a mechanical shutter, it has two means of releasing- electronic or standard mechanical shutter release.
