I've been playing around with various sensors and would like to try sticking some in the film plane of an old 135 film camera, such as a Konica C35, Pentax SpotMatic, Minolta SRT101, etc. The catch is, I don't know how to remove the backs.

I know the backs must come off on most old 135 cameras without too much grief because the I'm Back 35 folks basically do this with a little camera and mirror assembly (thus avoiding the crop despite using a small sensor), but I've not really found anything saying how the backs come off. Any suggestions?

Just flip the switch on the bottom
