Ikoflex 1b on Display (11)
Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex 1b
The filmtransport of the Ikoflex 1b has a very peculiar design and can fool you if you use it for the first time without operating instructions.
When you loaded the camera with a new film the Winderknob (see red arrow) can be turned on and on. This is necesarry to reach the "1" symbol on the back of the film as seen through the red window in the bottom of the camera.
After that depress the Framecounter Resetbutton (see green arrow) and turn it ccw until it locks. You have to press it as deep as it goes !
Now you should see the nr 1 in the framecounter window.
However there could be special occasions when you will find yourself in trouble i.e. a mid-roll filmchange.
The Film Lock could be engaged.
In this case you have to cock the shutter, press the shutterbutton and keep it depressed while turning the Winderknob till the Framenumber 12 has passed. After that follow the same procedure as with a new filmroll.
