Hi Alexander,

 

How do you unscrew the handle disks ?

 

Remove the leatherette on each wheel then remove the screws (with a lens spanner). The screws have two tiny holes for the round pointy tongs of the spanner to fit into. The tongs of the spanner must come close enough together to span the short pitch of the holes.

 

My AE-11 stopped working, I pulled it apart as much as I could but there was nothing I could do to fix it so I saved and bought an AE-111, it seems to be much more reliable.

I've considered an ae-111 for my Etrs , but the price was always high . However , I really miss an in camera

light meter ( for travel , I use transparency , Provia 100f ) and was wondering about how well they work ? Could you mention the selling price

of the one you got ? Peter

 

 

I paid US$280 for mine, for my Etrsi. There is one on the Bay in Germany for US$234 at the moment, without defects they say, after I translated from German to English
