Does anyone has a good pointer on where to find one? I haven't either. Many of the SL repairs are similar to repairs for the Leicaflex Standard, so if you find the Leicaflex repair manual it will apply to many SL repairs. There are four different versions of the Leicaflex so where ever there are differences in the Leicaflex Standard repairs the instructions for the LAST version are closest to the SL procedures. > Doug, I am trying to imagine how the light leaks into the top 1/3 > of the picture.

Is your meter cell ribbed or flat? Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com ?
