<p>thanks for the info Rodeo Joe and Ellis Vener,<br> It seems that is the case with the broken part. Is this something that happens often with this Mamiya model? If that is the case and I have to pay £100+ for repairs and alignment every few rolls of film, what is the point? So much for 'reliable' equipment from a reputable company...<br> I have contacted the seller for a full refund, MF for me is not going well so far...</p>

<p>update: found another user on the forum with the exact problem and photos of where the spring and plastic part attach to on the camera body.<br> thanks and sorry for the hasty post, hopefully will not cost me another body to fix...</p>

<p>Hi all, <br> I ordered a used Mamiya 645 Pro body online, and upon unpacking it, two small pieces fell off of it, a small black springer in the shape of the number '6' with an edge, and a small black rectangular plastic piece with a small screw on the top. They are not broken, so I assume they came loose or were there as extras, which I very much doubt.<br> The focusing seems ok, the camera shutter only fired a few times initially, the mirror LU button functions, battery ok, but my heart sank, is my first system and to be honest all the pieces look just fantastic. What happened? <br> I downloaded a pdf of a repair manual, but the only parts that resembles mine happen to be deeper in the mirror housing, so not sure at all now...<br> Thank you in advance for reading this post, and I welcome all responses. <br> Nik. <br> http://s29.postimg.org/3t9weccc3/IMG_0051.jpg</p><div></div>
