<p>Giovanni, thanks for your reply: I've read the manual carefully but I'm talking about the "LT" indicator, not the red light dot.<br>

Gregory, thanks: I'm going to send the camera in for service...fingers crossed...any idea what the expense should be if the metering prism is broken?</p>

<p>Hi guys,<br>

while testing a recently bought Mamiya7 with 150mm lens I realized that the "LT" light in the viewfinder keeps blinking under any light condition, at any aperture and any exposure time.<br>

This means that, when set in "A" mode, the camera is just not usable. I made a test roll with a fuji 400ISO but I expect to see disasters from it. <br>

What could be the issue here in your opinion?<br>

Thanks and best regards!<br>

<p>Hi guys, <br>

thanks for your answers. The noise is indeed coming from the "not accessible" part of the body (rangefinder mechanisms?) as I tested the camera with the back open and lens (150mm) mounted and everything seems fine there. The noise is not coming from the film crank, nor from any film loading device. The film path seems to be very clean too.<br>

I'll make some shots to test that everything's alright...what else do you suggest me to check in the meanwhile?<br>

Thanks again,<br>

<p>Hi!<br>

Maybe this is a dumb and noobie question: I've just received my first Mamiya 7 body bought from ebay, and it is making a strange noise when moved, like if there is some sand inside or something else moving.<br>

Does this sound normal to you? <br>

Thanks in advance for your answers!<br>
