Ricoh XR-7M II 35mm SLR Camera

XR 7 locked up (by 2 users)

My Ricoh xr 7 locked up while taking a picture, the shutter won't release. I might have released the shutter again while it was doing a long exposure.

The shutter has frozen. removing batteries hasn't helped. I read somewhere about grease can gunked up the shutter mechanism but I haven't found any camera shop able to work on old Ricohs... any suggestions?

Hey cgrant,
I would try removing the batteries. This should release the shutter. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
