Aires 35 IIIA - help

[Belgium]

Hello guys,

Just bought this heavy Aries beauty, together with a Yashica GS, this afternoon.

Does anyone have some sort of manual from this camera please?

The small glassplate from the little window on the left is loose.
I would like to repair that and clean the viewfinder, does anyone know how to get the top of?

Thanks, Thierry

Dear Thierry,

My ex-wife had one. Everything on it is comprehensible from first principles. No need for a manual!

Cheers,

Thanks Roger, it seems a bit strange how to change the settings at first.
But when I discovered the front ring must be pulled away from the camera and turned to match with a measured EV-value, everything became clear.

To dismantle I found this wonderfull site from Daniel R. Mitchell.
