I just purchased a Kodak Retina Automatic III from Ebay a few days ago. It seems to be in great shape with one exception. When I wind the film lever and depress the shutter release, I hear a click but the shutter does not move. The aperture rings open and close as they should but the shutter never budges. I would like to get in there and clean the shutter but cannot figure out how to get the lense off. I am assuming it is probably the shutter blades but am not positive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It needs a shutter cleaning. They all need a shutter cleaning. The No. 1 thing that goes wrong with the III.
