MTC Photography Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 It looks like that the Photavit camera counter cannot be reset, it goes around from max of 25 , the next frames become 0, 1,2....etc. keep on going in circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cees_jan_de_hoog Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 There's a small lever just above the P from Photavit on the top plate (see photo), push it towards the back of the camera and the counter will wizz back to 0. If the lever isn't there, you may have a 828 film version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thank you for pointing out the counter reset lever. On my Photavit, this lever is almost invisible, hence never aware that there is a counter reset lever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 I see on your Photavit, the viewfinder eyepiece lens is missing. My Photavit had the viewfinder eyepiece lens, but disappeared and cannot be found. I now use it without viewfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Eureka ! I found my Photavit eyepiece, it is hidding under my laptop The eyepiece is a small loup about f=20mm, you may replace it with a small glass loup, stick to the back of viewfinder with a drop of crazy glue The eyepiece is simply slide into the back of Photavit viewfinder, without any thread, hence easily pull out or drop out and lost. After cleaning the eyepiece lens, I put it back with minimum amount of white glue Edited May 5, 2017 by MTC Photography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
