Today after finishing a roll I pressed the film rewind release collar on my Zarya (fed2 less rangefinder) and instantly realized I still had the shutter cocked.Since then the shutter release doesnt seem quite right,occationally the shutter seems to hang up.It hasn't failed to release yet totally,just kind of a delayed action.Any ideas guys?

Is the shutter not supposed to be cocked before pressing/turning the film release collar? Is that a rule with Feds like cocking the shutter before changing shutter speeds?

Frank, I seem to recall reading to trip the shutter before pushing the release.However,I really cant see what difference it would make.Then again,my FSU camera track record isnt so good anyway......

I don't think releasing the shutter with the rewind collar should cause any problem. I have a Zorki 6 that periodically will mess up a couple of frames because the shuitter doesn't cock properly--nothing a thorough CLA wouldn't fix, I suspect
