I have bought a voigtlander vito iia. In great condition except that when I open the front door the lens is meant to slide our to the front in a smooth fashion.

What is happening at the moment is the lens comes out but at an angle and gets a bit stuck on the inside of the cover door. In itself not a big deal, but when you do open the door all the way and the lens extends, you can see the lens is at a very slight angle, pointing off just to the right.

Is there a way to re-align the lens and bellows so it opens straight?

Hi..
Just going through this pain right now...

You'll need a spanner to loose the retaining ring on the back of the shutter/lens, this can be done carefuly when the camera is closed and then through the back, just careful not to damage the bellows. Loose a bit and then open the camera, give a little twist until it get to the right angle.
