<p>Hello everybody,<br /><br />Thanks you from now on for any information that you can offer me. I have a problem: I inherited a camera from my grandfather, a Leica IIIf with a Elmar 50/3,5. I really like the camera, but after shooting my first roll and getting it developed in a Kodak store, I stated that something was wrong: all my photos except for 6 long exposures taken in bulb mode were all white with random black spots all over them. I tried to remove the lens to see what was the condition of the shutter, if it was really opening at all speeds, if it was in anyway damaged, but after a good half hour unsuccessfully trying to get that Elmar from the body, I gave up. The lens seem to be alright, the focus rotates smoothly, it wiggles a bit in the infinite position lock but I don't think it's nothing to be worried about. I tought putting some lubricant, but I was afraid that it could get inside any internal mechanisms or optics and ruin something. So, what do you think I should do? Do you have any suggestion on how to remove the lens?<br>
Best regards,<br>

Problem! Unscrewable screw lens.
