hi

ive opened he front element of my vivitar 35ES, but after closing it up again, the light meter wont work anymore

now ive found a lever inside the front element which moves a little metal plate inside the front element which houses the light meter cell...


how am i supposed to fit that in again so that it works ?

thanks for any information!

regards from vienna,
xax

just fixed it!

ok guys, if you open up a vivitar35ES or revue 400SE, watch the small metal plate formed like a small screwdriver inside of the front element and in the back of the front lens, it has to go back in there, otherwise the meter wont work again!
