hasselblad a12 back problems

[frdchang]

i just got a new 501cm kit, and the a12 back is giving me problems

 

i fear i may have broken it...

 

so basically when you turn the knob on the a12 back it

engages/disengages the thing from the camera body... well it doesn't

go all the way in the camera body now... and when i fooled around

with it.. i noticed that the pressure plate doesn't engage when i

turn the a12 knob.. (i think it did before)

 

so is there a quick fix? or am i off to the hasselblad service

center..

if it's under warranty i would sent it to Hasselblad. there is a guy

who publishes a manual so you can perform some of the

common fixes yourself. email me if you are interested and i'll dig

up the guy's info for you.

i just fixed the a12 back so it goes in and does everything..

 

when i turn the knob on the a12, does your knob snaps back to the default position?

 

(oh yeah, i unscrewed the darn thing and re-engaged this black thing that came off)

 

but i don't recall the knob snapping back to the default position... i just got my blad today so i'm not really familiar with it.

Do you have the dark slide in the back when you try to attach it? The dark slide must be in the back when removing or attaching.

Have you read the manual?
