I just finished repairing my pentax 645 viewfinder and now I'm feeling bold enough to tackle my Contaflex I. I have one with a good prism and a fungus lens and one with a cracked one and a good lens. How Do I get the top off? Anything to watch out for? I would also like to clean the lens and leaf shutter. Thanks. Marcus. |

I have notes for removing the top from the Contaflex 4, it might be close enough to help with the 1. Please email rick_oleson@yahoo.com if you'd like a copy. |

Thanks for the offer, I managed pretty well. Nothing too tricky. The new prism is a little low now and stops the mirror from fully retracting. so it's all apart again tomorrowand shim the prism. Do you know how to remove the front element? There is a bunch of nasty dust that could use a blow off. Thanks. |
