(This was the method proposed in the manual for the old Contax M cameras in the sixties.) <br> <br> Do you put the thumb below the advance lever and and press the lever up to counteract the downward pressure on the release button? <br> - -- <br> christer almqvist <br> eichenstrasse 57, d-20255 hamburg, fon +49-40-407111 fax +49-40-4908440 <br> 14 rue de la hauteur, f-50590 regn=E9ville-sur-mer, fon+fax +33-233 45 35 58 <br> </blockquote></html>
