Hello,

Is there a trick to getting the taking lens on an Ikoflex 1 to screw back on? I'm having trouble getting it to start, the beveled edge makes it challenging to get level. Both sets of threads look okay.

Thanks

Slowly rotate backwards. You'll feel the threads drop into a start point. Often, you'll need to go for two 'drops' as the two threads aren't precisely 180.000degrees from each other.
