The film is advanced with a knob on the top of the camera. The film is rewound with an identical knob on the other side, you need to move the R-> switch on the back of the camera before doing this. The film counter will only count when there is film in the camera, this is via a toothed wheel that sits in the film perforations; it is also connected to the shutter and will prevent the shutter from firing until the counter has increased by one. == Functionality == The camera has no [[light meter]] or ability to set the [[film speed]]. The lens section is only connected to the body by one screw just inside the body. The lens is fairly typical, 50mm and goes from f/3.5 through to f/22, though the depth of field ring only shows up to f/16. Shutter speeds are in the one second to 1/300th second range with a bulb setting. The shutter also has a self timer lever for about 8 seconds. There are flash synchronization points on the top of the lens housing; considering the age of the camera it's probably only for a flashbulb. == Links == in French: * [http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/page_standard.php?id_appareil=1546 Regula Regula II ST ] on [http://www.collection-appareils.fr/general/html/francais.php www.collection-appareils.fr] by Sylvain Halgand [[Category: R]] [[Category:German 35mm viewfinder]]
