Indeed. To be honnest, last time I spent 100$ to repair it, I wasn't expect to be in the same situation later. Initially I wanted to sell this camera to someone who will be actually using it and to keep my Blad, Mamiya 7 and other medium format beasts. Too late I guess. I should have shoot more often with it !

Maybe I'll try someday but I'm bad at this kind of things and I'm afraid I do not have enough patience, gear and repair experience. I'm going to ask for a second opinion to a cam repair service, without incur any cost yet if possible. Thanks for the help, much appreciated

Yep, the lens shutter is open no matter what I do... I double checked the self timer but it doesn't affect anything The only case where I can remount the lens on the body is if I push the shutter release button on the body, the mirror goes up and the red pins match (red pins on the lens under the bottom of the arrow / holes on the body at 11 o'clock) but it's clearly the wrong position because then, when I advance the shutter knob, the mirror won't go back in down position. It blocks somewhere halfway and the viewfinder is dark. I have to remove the lens to finish the advancement and fire the camera. I think my lens is jammed because I didn't shoot for a very long time and Kowa lenses don't like inactivity... :( If my lens is jammed though, I still don't understand how I could finish a film roll just before this happened...

I tried pushing the tiny pin but the pins won't move past the position on photo n°2. When I push the tiny pin, the pins go back to their initial position on the bottom of the arrow. These red pins can only go from the bottom of the arrow to the halfway (photo n°2) and nothing seem to unblock that... Thanks for your help anyway rodeo_joe|1

I tried to move the red pins on every V-X-M flash/timer position but it's the same Thanks for your response

Thanks for your response kmac Indeed, camera and lens have to match states to line up but the problem is I can't set the lens on the right position as the manual requires (red pins won't go under the red dots)

Hello everyone, I'm a Kowa Six user, had to send it to repair service a long time ago, I did not use the camera for a while and now it's stucked again... >>> I removed the lens and can't remount it on the body because the red pins (on the lens) won't go all the way to the red dots to click. They won't go further the halfway. The camera is in the right position to mount the lens : camera cocked and mirror is down I read all the Kowa Six threads around here but can't find the solution and I'd like to avoid another 100$ or more to send to repair service. Could someone help me ? Thanks in advance Romain
