darin_cozine Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 <p>So I have a Balda Super Baldax<br> It has a little lever on the back of the camera. It does not appear to do anything at all. <br> Does anyone have one of these?</p> <p>Darin</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon_yee Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 <p>Are you referring to the small toothed lever on the back of the the top cover near the rewind knob? If so, I believe it's the lever for resetting the film counter.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 <p>As <strong>Gordon</strong> surmised, probably the counter-setting lever. Instructions here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.butkus.org/chinon/balda/baldix_6x6/baldix_6x6.htm">http://www.butkus.org/chinon/balda/baldix_6x6/baldix_6x6.htm</a></p> <p>(Slip Mike a couple of bucks, if the instructions are useful...)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 <p>Yes it's used to initialise the frame counter. Matt Denton explains the rather counter-intuitive film winding procedure here:</p> <p>http://mattsclassiccameras.com/balda_baldix.html</p> <p>I found with mine, the frame counter got out of step with the numbers in the red window, perhaps becaise modern films are thicker? Either way its a good idea to practice by running a scrap film through. Its a great camera to use, shame about the film winding system.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
