He doesn't list that model as something he repairs, but he has been able to fix things for me that aren't on that list. You might fire him an email. john@focalpointlens.com Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Aram Langhans Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 3:35 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] OT - Zeiss Ikoflex Question I just took possession of a Zeis Ikoflex Favorit (last model) TLR. The shutter seems to be jammed, but I have read that there are many interlocks on this camera. I know the finder hood has to be open to fire. I have not put film in the camera as there seems to be no film sensors that need to be tripped. The film counter never movers when I wind the knob. The shutter does not fire using the side trigger or the top cable release shutter. It hardly moves, like it is still locked. I found an on-line manual for a much older model, but that didn't help much. When looking at the camera from the front, there is a nurled lever at about the 8 o-clock position of the picture taking lens. I was assuming this was the shutter cocking lever, but it does not seem to perform any function when I move it. Does anyone have any suggestions for this Rollei 3.5F guy to try? Camera looks like it is in great shape. Aram _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
