Wondering if anyone would know on how to change ASA on this camera? Just received it.... downloaded a free manual but its not clear...thks.
 
turn the outer meter ring all the way to either end. Then with more force turn in the direction you need to go. It is odd, but that is how it works.
 
In the middle of the focus knob, there is a little bar which you can turn

This effects the EV setting if you keep the shutter / aperture linked to it. I find it annoying (especially since max ASA is 200), so I've disengaged it

Rolleix 3.5....looks identical to the one shown, on the focus knob in the middle of it there is an asa setting window, if I turn the little "switch" it only turns the film type ex: pan,ortho or color....the asa number does not change...I'm annoyed!!!
 
Tried to upload photo must be doing something wrong....not working,I'm new at this...file is only 85kb (600x397 pixels)
 
My circa 1955 2.8C has the same or similar reminder disc. Turning the centre lever anti clockwise changes the reminder window between tungsten; daylight; ortho; and pan. Rotating it clockwise moves the speed window through the ASA numbers.

Have you tried rotating it both ways? Occasionally they do get stuck/broken. Could be a possibility.
Regards,
Brett
