Can't figure out diark slide on RB67.

I don't have an RB67, but on all the removable back MF SLRs I've owned, it just slides into a slit in the side. Some will have another slot to store the thing when you're shooting. I wish Victor had thought of that. I've misplaced my 500C/M dark slide a dozen times... I never understood this "where do i keep the slide" thing. I put it where the camera came out off. |

Can't figure out diark slide on RB67.
"Ric Trexell" wrote in message net... It is suppose to go between the two silver lines on the right side is it not? Nothing moves there...Thanks. Ric in Wisconsin. ************************************************** ************** Thanks again for all those that offered help. I know it is supposed to go between the lines on the right side of the camera, I said as much in my original post. I also know that you can keep it on the left side of the camera when not in use. The thing that has me puzzled is that I expected it to be like the little door on a floppy drive in a computer that moves out of the way when it is inserted. Nothing seems to move and I was wondering if something had to be moved like a lever or something. Perhaps mine is frozen or stuck. I will look it over closer but I might have to take it to someone that knows what I'm doing wrong. Ric. |

If you have a late model Pro-s back, there is an interlock that won't let you remove the dark slide unless the back is mounted on a camera. That is to stop you from removing the slide and accidentally exposing the film surface. You can only remove the DS when the back is mounted on the camera. Should be same for putting it back, but have never tried it outside the camera. The interlock is a little tab on the edge of the back, but my advice is to leave it alone. The reason there is no door for the slot is that the slot itself is lined up with light baffle material that won't let light in but will let the DS in and out. HTH |

If it's at all like the Hasselbald, the darkslide does push a plate (parallel to the slide) back to let the slide in ... the whole has to keep the dark from leaking out as well... -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |

The light baffle in the RB Pro & ProS magazines is a felt covered plate that has springy tabs under it to push it up to cover the slot when the slide is removed. The slide sets in a recessed area that is as deep as the slide is thick. Hope this wasn't to confusing. |
