Hello again!
I've just had a splendid donation to my collection in the form of a Zeiss Super Ikonta III (Tessar version).
The one problem with it is, although the wind-on is working properly (locks after each wind and releases when shutter is fired) the shutter button is failing to lock up after firing. I've had the top off and can see a lever with what appears to be a little piece of wire that goes in a slot in the shutter button collar, but how is this adjusted? (I'm reluctant to bend it unless that's how it's meant to be done).
Cheers
Jim
