For some unexplained reason my Nikon F2 Photomic refuses to allow the back to open to remove the film. The film has been rewound, but when the rewind knob is raised it will not open release the back. Any suggestions?

Very helpful! Thanks so much. Camera actually belongs to my partner. I did look at the manual but didn't see this. Thanks again.

Ah Ha! The O/C is mentioned in the loading portion of the manual but not the unloading part. I guess it's good to start at the beginning.

The lock for the back is on the bottom because in addition to locking and unlocking the back it also opens and closes the AM-1 film cassette. Same story with the Nikon RF's and the F SLR.
