Mamiya 645 pro problem

[boris_weinfass]

Hey

I have a problem with my Mamiya645

I inserted a film and it winded it to the end

So I tried without a film and it won't shoot. Just try to

wind

Any technicians here know what could cause the

problem?

 

Thanks

<p>This is normal operation. You need to put it in multi-exposure mode (near the bottom-right-rear side). Just remember to put it back before you shoot your next roll. :)</p>

I tried to switch it to multi and back and it keeps doing

the same.

Before the problem it would just shoot when the back is

disconnected

My Pro, with the back removed, will fire its shutter, and you can watch the blinds move back into the cocked position (as you know). It looks like your camera (or maybe the winder) can't tell whether there's a film there or not, and it's trying to wind to frame 1.<br>

I notice that you have the WG401 winder; my winder is a 402, so has a position on the shutter button marked 'Start' for winding to frame 1 with a fresh film. I <em>guess</em> this is an automatic function with the 401? Could it be that the winder has simply lost good contact with the body? Try taking it off and wiping the electric contacts on the winder and body. That's all I can think of. Good luck!</p>
