So I found this quirky Kowa H with a bottom winder and selenium cell in an old warehouse. It looked nesrly unused, but the aperture blades seem to have moved somehow.

Im trying to remove this fixed lens, but I cant seem to find the screws to remove it. Anyone got any ideas?

I know its not a fancy camera, but I cant seem to just put it away.

Ah, this is an SLR - I was envisioning a rangefinder.

There will be a large number of links between the body and the lens so the lens will not come away cleanly.

Try going in from the front by removing any threaded rings holding the lens together.

You may need to peal away the leatherette at the front of the camera to access a plate that the lens may (or may not) be mounted to.
