Hello Orsetto. I tried your 1ste part, but no luck with any setting.... Then looked at the self-timer... yes it's stuck in the middle. but tried all your steps and it won't move. Guess I need to try to open the lens now? Any guide to a repair movie :) Else the voigtlander will end up as decoration piece ( I still have a Minolta 5A & a yashica gsn 35 elktro,which I repaired Yesterday ( broken white lead towards battery spring ) Regs

Hi all , i have set the aperture to 2.8 and shutter speed to asa800 pointing at a light window, case open no luck, i can press the shutter down a bit, it clicks and the shutter blades move a fractionnof a mm....

ok tx, but I tried your suggestion. Moved the sprocket until it cannot go further. then press the shutter ( no luck -> small click , but the diafragma in the lens does not open and closes ) . Seems strange . any idea to detect a failure then ?

OK Tx, that's the phenomenon I have. Sometimes the shutter works fine, then doesn't work anymore Is there a manual or something to repair this or to do some cleaning on it ? If that existst Since it's realy a nice camera

Hello I have a voigtlander CL - there is a focus ring on the lens with distances in feet on it ( see image ) -> if I move the ring there is no focis difference when I look through the window ? Is this normal . I can set it offcourse to the presets portrait, landscape etc. But it would be nice to know if the focus works or not and what's the default behaviour - I've loaded a test 200 ASA film 24 images . the film counter on the bottom shows some presets ( 20 , 25, 30, 35 ) for number of images. If I read the manual correct for a 24 film I need to set it initially to 26 and then turn the rapid winding lever 2 times, is it then ready to start taking photo's ?It should be set at that point to 24 I guess. But at first I loaded the film, it did not move. Opened the case again. No luck. Then lifted the rewind knob and pushed it hard in and it moved... - I also noticed sometimes the diafragma does not works as it should when pressing the shutter.. It has to be related to the correct insetting of the film .... or has this nothing to do with it. - in the manual it states hwo to load the film , but this is not clear. Should I insert it on the take up spool, or on the other side, so that the film takes the spool hinge when it reaches that point? Sorry for all these questions...
