Eumig Nautica lost PMA lens

Post by Kurt2112 »

I have misplaced my PMA lens attachment as well as my Nautica owners manual. If I want to shoot
without the PMA (on dry land), what setting do I lock the camera in to? The last roll i shot ( a few years ago) came
out totally out of focus and I cannot remember the setting I used. Thank you in advance.

Easy...just make sure the zoom works back and forth by hand. You do NOT want to have the lever on the side flipped down to the PMA setting. That position is for the PMA lens attached.

It is a normal 9-30mm zoom without the PMA.

Look here, scroll down to see a picture of the camera with the lever on the right side, near the lens:

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your reply. I actually found the camera's PMA lens this week. Your website was of great help!

I'll be shooting some 7203/50d with my Nautica soon. Where does one have it processed these days? Sorry if this is a obvious question, but it's been awhile since I've shot film, and things have changed quite a bit..Thanks!
