Hi all,
So I am sitting here with a camera that holds profound sentimental value -- My late father's Zeiss
Contaflex Super B . It was one of his prized possessions -- a law school graduation gift and the final
piece of convincing he used to persuade my mother to purchase such an expensive piece of gear was *my*
impending birth.
I learned to shoot with this camera as soon as I was old enough to hold it.
Nearly 40 years later it is now mine and it seems to be in pristine condition cosmetically. The shutter still
fires smoothly. I would love to run a roll of film through it to see what shape it is in mechanically, for the
life of me, I cannot remove the back. It is the version with the darkslide. I even have an owners manual
that simply says to fold the catches upwards and turn them in the opposite direction. To no avail and I
obviously do not want to force it.
I have the feeling I am missing something--- can anyone help out?
Thank you,
Jil
