<p>it does sound similar to the ae-1 and what you have described. The shutter works better when left on a heat pad, fyi. I took the camera to a camera repair shop here n LA called Walters. I showed him the problem clearly, he said he could fix it. I received the camera today and he said that there were bent parts inside. He's an older person that doesn't seem to like conversation or explaining things. The shutter worked fine, when I tested it there, why wouldn't it though, he hadnt cocked it yet and he could have released the shutter before I arrived. I wait a few hours and it's still good. I put the camera in the fridge for 30 min as cold weather exacerbates the problem, and it delayed again! but, a little less than before. if he didnt fix it the first time I doubt he could fix it a 2nd time. Nippon is an excellent repair shop in NY and they didnt seem to fix it either. the only option to me is to send it back to Mamiya itself. I put the camera in mechanical mode and removed the battery to see if the problem is still there to determine if it's completely a mechanical problem. thanks</p>

<p>letting the camera sit on a head pad atm to see if that changed anything...</p>

<p>Hello, </p> <p>I had my RZ67 II CLA'd at Nippon in NY in 2014 this problem persisted before and after the CLA. I had a lens rebuilt and the hotshoe didnt work.</p> <p>When I dont use the camera anywhere between months and 2 hours, the first shot taken, there is a delay when the shutter release button is pressed. It takes ~1 second for the mirror to finally begin flipping up and then the picture being taken. All shots after the first shot are fine and the mirror flips and the shutter releases correctly. I'm not sure why this happens, and its not the worst problem a camera can have but it is rather annoying.<br> Has anyone experienced this? And does anyone have any solutions aside from sending it in for repair?</p> <p>Thank you for taking the time to read.</p>

<p>I purchased Vuescan a year ago for a v700 and the software was so buggy that I emailed and begged for a refund. I will get a firewire 400-800-thunderbolt for my retina mbp and a 400-800 for my old mbp. I hope Vuescan works well. Thanks</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. The Scan Multi Pro has firewire. Ive done some research but all I found conclusively is that silverfast 6 se runs as a plugin in photoshop CS3. I dont have either of those and am not too interested in paying/downloading them after paying for the scanner itself. I'll give Vuescan a try. </p> <p>But if anyone uses this scanner with 10.6.8 please let me know.</p> <p>thanks</p>

<p>Minolta Scan Multi Pro + Snow Leopard (10.6.8)</p> <p>Is anyone running this? And if so what software? Is it possible to run with Minolta's provided software? Do I have to use Silverfast? Can you preview the whole negative strip first in any of these programs?</p> <p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Yes, I did try it with film.</p>

<p>I've tried it with 2 firewire cables in different slots. Vuescan does eventually detect the scanner, but it says the scanner is not ready. It can not fully communicate with the scanner. Which is why I believe, Vuescan may like the scanner (but not fully), but the scanner may not like Vuescan. Vuescan for my v700 worked but it was extremely buggy; something not isolated to my experience. The previous owner used a PC with firewire cable until his PC died and phased it out of his business.<br> I have more confidence that the scanner will work on an old system it was specifically designed for, not a new system with a 3rd party application that is known, not just by me, to have bugs. I was only hopeful. Other online research indicated others have problems with this scanner paired with Vuescan. </p> <p> </p>

<p>Hello, I tried Vuescan on all 3 computers today with no luck. I had tried Vuescan before with my v700; I'm convinced its a garbage product.</p> <p>It recognized the scanner eventually, but then it said scanner is not ready to scan. I think the computer was okay with the scanner but the scanner was not okay with the computer. </p>

<p>sorry its 10.6.8 not 10.8.6</p>

<p>Hi everyone,<br> I recently purchased a used Sprintscan 120. I spoke directly with the previous owner; I know it works. The reason he sold it is because the pc he used broke.<br> I have:<br> Macbook Pro retina w/ 10.9.2<br> Macbook Pro w/ 10.8.6<br> Powerbook G4 10.4</p> <p>I have supplied disc. Silverfast 5, the biuscan disc, etc. The driver disc is for PC. Silverfast requires a photoshop to run as a plugin.<br> I have a firewire cable.</p> <p>Tomorrow I will try Vuescan with firewire on the 10.8.6. </p> <p>What else can I do? I've done a lot of research over time. but all the info is all over the place with no concrete solutions. Should I buy an old os9 G3? An old PC? </p> <p>Thanks everyone</p>
