How do you open a Praktica L, or any camera for that matter, when it is missing the rewind knob? I plan on partially dissasembling the camera for parts and practice so I don't mind if the procedure is especially complicated. |

I may have figured it out. I don't have the camera in front of me, but is the film door release mechanism accessable by removing the bottom plate? |

In most cameras, you reach in the hole where the knob had been (a crochet hook is an ideal tool), feel around the sides and pull up on whatever you can get a purchase on until you find the right thing and the back opens. |

As you've probably discovered by now, Jesse, your guess was right. It is easy to operate the release if you take off the bottom plate. |
