Can't figure out diark slide on RB67.
I have a question about my Mamiya RB67 Pro S that has bugged me since I
bought it. I purchased a used 220 back for it a few weeks ago and the next item will probably be a dark slide. I have looked on the manual and looked the camera over for extended periods but can't figure out where the dark slide goes. It is suppose to go between the two silver lines on the right side is it not? Nothing moves there and when I open the camera up I can't see any sort of guide as to where it would go. This has me stumped. Do you have any good pictures of how that goes in there? Or can you just tell me what I'm not seeing? Thanks. Ric in Wisconsin. |

The dark slide fits into the slot on the right hand end of the magazine.

The slot can be hard to see in some lighting. There really isn't much to see. All it does is block the light from getting to the film when the back is removed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Retired Shop Rat: 14,647 days in a GM plant.

Ric in Wisconsin. ************************************************** ***************** Thanks for the information. I'll take another look at it. I thought there would be a sort of door that sprung open when you put it in. Forgive me for spelling dark as 'diark'. I bet some people said that that idoit Ric guy can't even spell the word so how does he expect to find it? Oh well. Thanks again. Ric. |

Some will have another slot to store the thing when you're shooting. -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

Some will have another slot to store the thing when you're shooting. on the rb67 Pro-S you store the slide between the focus and the strap lug, under the wind lever on the right side. It's a tight fit and fiddly: I almost always end up shoving it in my back pocket, a lot faster. Which means I also promptly forget where it is... As for sliding it in the back: in mine there are two white lines with a slot in between, on the right side of the film back. The slot is where it goes. Pro-S back. |
