This has happened to my girlfriend's Mamiya 6. Mamiya USA said they could

not fix it, because the part (s) are unavailable. But if the camera was a 6MF

they could repair it, because they do have parts for that camera. Are the parts

that different? No, the part is the same! But because the 6MF is newer, they

are required to hold the very few remaining parts for that camera under

import rules. I find this rather upsetting. So Martin, can you please tell us

where to fix the camera in Germany?? Thanks. Arthur

Dear Arthur,

Referring to this post from 2004, can you tell me whether you have ever received an advice where to repair the Mamiya 6 with this problem in Germany if Mamiya cannot fix it? I have just received my Mamiya 6 from Japan and it shows exactly the same behaviour as described by John in this thread.

Thanks, Gaby

<p>I'm going to revive this old thread, since Ravi describes the issue perfectly. Does anyone know if the magnet he refers to can simply be removed? </p>

Have the same question and would like to know whether you have received any information on how to change the magnet?
