Jesse Solorzano Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, Long time reader, first time poster. I recently picked up an arriflex 16bl, and I cannot find a way to open up the camera door. Ive scoured the internet for videos/instructions, and the best I could find was that the silver "A-Z" knob in the picture has to be turned to the right. Is this all that needs to happen? Because I am trying to turn it as hard as I can and it wont budge. Is there a release or something somewhere? Also, Ive never tried to post and cant figure out how to embed this photo lol..... https://imgur.com/gallery/HuBdPDS Furthermore, if anyone has anything they believe I should check before the Ebay return period expires, please lmk! The movement/motor do seem to work, but i have yet to put any film through it. Thanks so much.

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted March 15, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted March 15, 2022 A is Auf for open and Z is Zu for close, so you want to turn the silver A-Z knob to the left to open the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
