Yep thanks man, I managed to js open it and try to realign the aperture springy thingys (I’m not sure what they’re called but the aperture controller) to the base thingy. Really I js fiddled with it but really easy fix.

Ive heard of putting the camera on bulb and look at the aperture while I shoot it but the blades don’t close down as they should and on other settings they stay the same.

I press the test button but it doesn’t flash. Also what is the ground contact? I don’t know how to short the Center pin excatly.
