Hallo dears,
I am totally new to this forum, and I dare ask you advice about a "basic problem".
I am trying to see if i can repair a Semflex Oto 35 B, a french TLR of the early sixties.
I removed front leatherette and had acces to four little brass screws, but yet I cannot remove front plate cause of the shutter button and another circular element with a threaded hole that i suppose should be of use with a flexible shutter release. They are both circular and crome, and i can't take a firm grip on them... Any suggestion is very gratefully accepeted.
Thank you for reading, good light to You!

Er. Hello. Yes, you may dare, but never heard of the camera you mention. Others here will help ...

Proceed with caution. Do not force.
