The shutter of the lens is stuck at halfway when shooting. I tried to clean it but I propably did it wrong.
Does anybody has knowledge of how to clean and lubricate the apertures? It's a Berthiot lens.

Most TLR covered with leatherette first issue how can you remove it gently and glue it back well, not a DIY job, look an expert in your country if not find any let me to know it I have it here and you can ask him to repair it.

Sorry I ment the shutter. I corrected my upper text. : )
It's very easy to get to the shutter. You just unscrew the front glass element. I don't know any expert who is repeairing such old cameras here. I guess I need some suggestions how to clean and lubricate the shutter. So it'll work without getting stuck and messing up the photo.
Cheers
