Hi all,
I recently bought an as is CL with a mint Summicron 40mm for a great price. I opened up the camera today to take a look at the issue and it seems that the advance lever is broken, someone must have forced it and broken off the small pieces that engages with the advance assembly.
I would love to get this camera back up and running but to do so I'm going to need this part.
I reached out to DAG to see if he has any available, any other suggestions? are there any other levers I could use other than the original?
Thanks!
Adam R.

Rangefinder issues
Rangefinder issues
Update: DAG has the levers in stock so that is great.
Another issue, one that is puzzling me with the camera is that the rangefinder patch is not showing up at all.
After I opened up the camera I put the little flashlight on my phone right in front of the little rangefinder window, and looking through the viewfinder I saw that the patch was bright and right there.
I am wondering what the issue could be, Is the patch just super faded or is there something else at play?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
