I have a Rollie 35 with the lens stuck in the out position. It looks like the barrel is off the tracks so to speak. It will not twist around into position and I don't want to force it.

If anyone knows how I can fix this problem and is willing to share that information with me, I would be grateful.

Thank you in advance,

Stephen

The shutter must be cocked to manipulate the retractable lens. If somehow the shutter is released and so is the lens lock, you have a problem. The shutter can be set from the back of the camera with tweezers, but it's been over 20 years since I had to deal with this problem.

I have a problem. How would setting the shutter help me rotate the barrel so I can align the track with the groove and hopefully retract the lens?
