I just obtained a Voigtlander Vitessa Version A with non removable back. When loading film into this camera, do I slide the film beneath the pressure plate or is there a way to release the plate and insert the film and then put the pressure plate over the film? I see no obvious way to release the pressure plate on this model. Help!

On my early-model Vitessa (type 125, no flash shoe) one pushes the film plate upwards and it snaps open.

Hello Paul,
I pushed the pressure plate upwards harder than before and was able to release it. Thank you for your advice! It doesn't seem like a very elegant design, but probably was appropriate for a German camera sold in the early 1950s.
