Veiron Posted March 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Really happy! the quality is fantastic but havn't started shooting yet, but it seems to be in perfect working order. Looked at serial number online but couldn't fid it. It is a Single-stroke with number 915 074, but the tables I have found says ss started with 919***, how can this be? Another thing, the filter on the lens is kind of stuck, any way to loosen it without risk of hurting something. Welcome, dear visitor!

kivis Posted March 27, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2014 Sometimes older DS models were converted to SS models. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted March 27, 2014 Filter stuck? Press against the (preferably clean) rubber sole of a shoe and unscrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted March 27, 2014 Share #4 Posted March 27, 2014 Sometimes older DS models were converted to SS models. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think sometimes if the camera com advance required repair it would converted to SS too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted March 27, 2014 Share #5 Posted March 27, 2014 I would guess it has been modified. Does it make a difference for you? It is quicker to operate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
payasam Posted March 29, 2014 Share #6 Posted March 29, 2014 Wrapping adhesive tape around a thumb and index and middle fingers -- with the sticky side out -- will help you to get a grip on the filter. Don Goldberg taught me this trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
