Hi Everyone.
I have a Contax RTS III that was placed in a camera back for almost a decade...
I took it out last Sunday and found that the batteries had leaked, although the damage seemed to be cosmetic at first.
A new battery and a few days later, here is where I am at:
The mirror seems to be very slow, it stays up for about 6 seconds no matter what stutter speed I use in Manual mode (and Shutter Priority).
The Film winding mechanism doesn't seem to engage at all.
I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know what I might try in order to attempt to fix it?
I have 3 great Carl Zeiss Lenses for this camera that I'd love to use again.
Thank you.
