aslan_ivo Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 The 90mm lens on my pro-SD seems to be stuck & impossible to remove. I press the shutter lever forward all the way, the mirror comes down as far as it will go, & the mirror comes down, no problems. Then I try to rotate the lens ring in an effort to get the dot on the lens ring to match the dot on the top front of the camera face. The ring won't budge either direction. The camera works fine, I took several rolls with it today. The mirror goes up and down happily. I am missing something else with all the interconnected mechanisms? Should the film slide be in or out, or doesn't make a difference (doesn't seem to) I have even tried removing the back. Yes, I have posted this on the Mamiya site but am hoping someone here can help me too. (note to Mamiya's technical writers: your manual can use some improvement, Example:"counter clockwise" doesn't mean much unless you specify whether the camera is pointing towards or away from you. And your troubleshooting section merely points me back to the instructions, which I already knew about!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavelp Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 With the lens pointing to you, turn the ring in counterclockwise direction. You need to move the red point on the moving ring to the red arrow on the lens (or to the red ball on the camera body). Some of the lenses I have require significant effort to dismount but you should be able to turn the ring by hand. If it does not go, take the camera to repair-shop and they should be able to loosen it for you. Mamiya's manuals seem to be translated by somebody who does not know English well (on the other hand, they are easy to find for free). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
