Bronica ETRS Problem

[adam_pratt]

<p>I bought a Bronica ETRS body off of KEH a few weeks ago, and it has been working fine until today (I also have a film back and a speed grip, but no lens or viewfinder; I'm buying parts slowly since I'm a poor art student). Anyway, previously, the mirror and curtain have lifted when I press the shutter button, as long as the multiple exposure lever is pressed down. But now, it won't fire at all, as if the lever is up, or the dark slide is in. The button definitely isn't locked, I've tried it with and without the back (dark slide out) and the speed winder. Is there anything I'm missing, or should I go ahead and use the warranty?</p>

<p>Send it back and wait until you can buy a complete camera. Short of that you cannot be sure a camera is working.</p>

call keh n return it. they are very good about exchanges n returns.

<p>Ummm, dead battery?</p>

[paul ron]

battery doesnt effect the mirror, although its worth a try. my etrs fires with or without a

battery. the only difference is the shutter will default to 1/500th with a dead battery.

<p>1/60 , I think without a battery.</p>
