service-repair manual for Mamiya 645 Pro
Hi,
I need to change the bayonet on my 645 Pro TL camera. A repair manual could be useful to know how to open the camera body. I didn't find it by Google... Any help is appreciated Thank You Armando |

Many times repair manuals are available on ebay for your camera. The mount must be exactly what the manufacturer calls for in the distance from the mount to the film plane. A depth micrometer guage will almost be needed for this. A repair shop would use a collimator to make sure the focus is correct. If you don't have these things, make sure any spacers are replaced where they came from. However, since one mount is different from the next, even getting spacers replaced exactly might not make for a good set up. Ric in Wisconsin. Thank You for Your answer. I think I won't make any change on my camera. The reason why I bought the bayonet is a little "play" of some heavy lenses I had noticed. I use the camera for astroimaging and during long exposures the rotation of the camera (to have no stars motion on the frame) together with the weight of the lens could cause a little shift of the lens... But I need to be sure this problem occurs since I have to make some pressure to be able to manually "shift" the lens attached to the bayonet. Thank You again Armando |

Thank You again Armando John Craig of Craig Camera sells user and repair manuals -- literally thousands of them. If what you are looking for isn't on his website http://www.craigcamera.com you can contact him directly and request it. On his repair manual page he lists various M645 models -- just scroll down to the "M"s http://http://www.craigcamera.com/lit_newrep.htm He sells both originals and xerox copies, often (but not always) for less than they can be found on ebay. Hope this helps. |

Hope this helps. I haven't gotten anything from John for a while but used to do a fair amount of business with him. I can recommend him. He is honest and friendly. He also often has stuff that is not on his web site so an e-mail or phone call is worth the effort. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
