Yashica 35M

[ameetee]

Hello Everyone,

Would love to pick all of your brains about my Yashica 35M (approx 1961 model). I'm teaching myself a lot about photography so please forgive my ignorance.

I have noticed that my lens is jamming and really tight to twist. The coupling ring and the Depth of field scale ring are moving perfectly.

Has anyone got any good ideas?

Thanks,

Amy

If it doesn't work, try asking on the Film & Conventional forum; the guys there know a LOT about a LOT of older cameras!
