I have a Super Solina with its Apotar 45mm f/2.8 lens. I'm clueless when it comes to classic cameras, so please bear with me.

The biggest problem is that I don't see any triangle-shaped (or diamond-shaped) image for focusing in the viewfinder. Before discovering the manual online I thought that perhaps I had an uncoupled rangefinder (if that's the right term) but the manual claims otherwise.

So, my assumption is that the camera is, in some way, broken. Not sure if this is really the case and would like confirmation. Also, if anyone has taken one apart, any pointers would be most welcome.
