Posted on Wednesday, June 23, 2004 - 09:25 pm:        I can't find much info online for this camera, but it appears to be very similar to the Agfa Super Silette. There is a lever on the focusing ring, but the ring doesn't move. Thus I can't focus. There are no marks to indicate it was dropped. Does anyone know how to dissassemble the focus ring and get it to turn? Thanks, Sherm   Dan Mitchell Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Look at Roland Given's article on the apotar lens. http://www.rolandandcaroline.co.uk/apotar.html Although he talks about Agfa folding cameras, the basic procedure is the same for the Silette. Mick Feuerbacher has a nice article on the Silette. http://feuerbacher.net/photo/frame.html
