Thanks, and here's the problem if anyone knows what to do

Ross Yerkes Camera Repair in LA is the best-known Kowa fixer. Am sure others will have favorites.

Thanks. I'm in CT and it's always nice to know where good technicians reside. I picked up a Kowa Super 66, wound it, fired the shutter which turned out to be in T mode on self-timer, shutter fired, I turned shutter speed dial, then tried to crank and everything froze. I can't get the back off. The lens ring doesn't rotate fully open. What a predicament.

You might try shopping your problem around on the Medium Format forum at photo.net, too. You'll probably get the "try Ross Yerkes" stuff again but there's an off-chance someone will have a quick fix.

Thanks! I had a great telephone conversation with Ross who did try to get the camera working before I resigned to send it in. I'm looking forward to getting it back and loading up some film!
