Hi Andy Thanks for your reply and help. I think thats good to know, because i was thinking to get a Bronica as an alternative to the RZ. It's smaller and lighter. Well at least i've learned something about buying online, you never know what you're going to get. =P

Hi Stephen Thanks for your reply After long research i found out that the pin from the body which tells the filmback it made the exposure, is loose so i've sent my RZ to a local repair store. I found a weird video on youtube how to fix it but it was still to tricky for me, and i am to scared to brick my RZ completely.

Hi everyone, i have tried to find a solution through the search option, but i haven't found any with the exact same problem. I recently bought an Mamiya RZ67, the seller showed me everything and everything seems to work fine the winding works the shutter works etc. At home i've loaded a Film inside, and winded the Film up to the point where it says 1 on the counter and i can press the shutter. Here comes the problem if i try to advance the film, the body acts normal like it advances the film but the film back it self doesn't. I have a second film back it did the same. The camera is not in the multiexposure mode. Even with the knob on the filmback itself i can't advance the film manually, something blocks the mechanism. With further research i've found the reason for the block. There is a tiny pin inside the winding mechanism of the filmback, if i press it inside, it locks in and i can advance to the next film, but it puts itself in this lock again after i advanced it. Does anybody know what could be the problem, i assume my body has a defect but i am not sure. Maybe i am too stupid to use this camera, but i watched several tutorials and nobody showed something wich can cause this problem. Kind Regards Viktor
