Rb 67 Pro S question/problem.
I have developed a weird problem with my Mamiya RB67 Pro S. When I got this
camera by winning an ebay auction, (ok hold down the lol's) the interlocks didn't work. This sort of helped me to learn how it worked because I guess one of the interlocks prevents you from taking pictures without film in the camera. So I could see how it was suppose to work better. I got around taking double exposures by making sure to wind the film first and then cock the shutter. Well, anyway, this Easter I was taking two rolls of film and after I loaded the second roll, when I went to take a vertical shot the shutter button would not go all the way in. That little pin that hits the multi-exposure block would prevent it. However, when I take horizontal (landscape) ones there is no problem. I can still take verticals (portrait) but I have to put the M.E. button on M.E. and then remember to put it back before I wind the film. I guess I will need to send it in, but I was wondering if I bent something while installing a new film, or what? The other thing I noticed once, and I'm not 100% sure of this is that once while playing around with it today, I couldn't get it to go back to the horizontal position until I moved the ME button. Maybe it just stuck or something as I can't see where that would matter. Have you ever heard of this? This happens with and without film in the camera. The manual doesn't say anything about this that I can find. Ric-Stumped in Wisconsin. |

I don't know if they'd even do it, but they should be able to if they wanted to provide such a service. And if all else fails: http://www.mamiya.com/customer-servi...ct-mamiya.html -- David J.

I think a CLA is probably in order. If I can get it serviced for close to $100 it is well worth it. Ric. |

I can still take verticals (portrait) but I have to put the M.E. button on M.E. and then remember to put it back before I wind the film. I guess I will need to send it in, but I was relax, your camera isn't broken at all. perhaps she is a little bit older, so you have got to occupy yourself with her, to clean it, to look after and then you will be very satisfied. it is not the multiexposure button. I had exactly the same problem. I solved it by cleaning the revolving adapter. yes, the revolving adapter between camera an back. There are two little security pins that you have to push to unmount the filmback from your revolving adapter without this darkslide that protects your film against exposure. try it one time, then you will recognize then. if you can not expose in a certain position, it is probably because the specific security pin for this position is not fully outside its hole. then it will prevent exposing - its in fact a security feature to disallow taking photographs without mounting the filmback exactly or without removing the darkslide out of its position. this was the situation with my camera in winter in the alps at -15°c ... there was an ugly cold old-dust-mug in the revolving adapter. i disassembled it and then i cleaned it. after cleaning you have to add some graphite to make revolving smooth again. then you have con to reassemble it. so be careful an make a sketch of each position of each part. do not by the new revolving adapter of the "pro sd" beacause this one doesn't fit at the "pro s". you could buy some old revolving backs for exercise ... wondering if I bent something while installing a new film, or what? The other thing I noticed once, and I'm not 100% sure of this is that once while playing around with it today, I couldn't get it to go back to the horizontal position until I moved the ME button. Maybe it just stuck or something as I can't see where that would matter. Have you ever heard of this? This happens with and without film in the camera. Why should it be the film when it is the revolving adapter? You also should remove the light seals of your filmback and add some new ones. Greetings Hans |
