Konica II, III shooting technique

[cloud worlds]

Hello,
I own and shoot a Konica II, III and IIIM; I purchased these cameras after shooting for some time with a Nikon F3. If you own one of these cameras, especially the II and III, you know that several exposure controls are placed on the lens barrels that can oh, so easily be inadvertently adjusted while shooting. In the III owners manual, they illustrate shooting technique by showing a model with her index finger under the lens while advancing the film and shooting both horizontally and vertically. I've tried that technique, but, of course succeeded in pulling the aperture lever over to 2.8. In the II manual, they advise shooting with both hands on the body of the camera. My question is, how to you shoot these cameras to avoid unintended adjustments?

Thanks

Now I'll step aside off topic - my observations are that there's no perfect camera, especially for anyone. Personally for me any camera requires some adaptation period, that is true also for KIII where I sometimes unintentionally pull aperture lever.

For me key is stick to as few cameras as I can. And then check controls as often as I can. After shot, between shots. Before shot, if I have a second. Even if settings are off, I have a chance to rollback.
