Unfortunately no, I sold the camera and the finder awhile ago.

Out with the old, in with the new (to me). New body on the way from Used Photo Pro instead of a Japanese proxy site. Can’t return the old one, so let me know if anyone is looking for a project.

Thanks. Tried that and the lens appears to be functioning normally. As much as I like to tinker with old cameras I think this one may be out of my depth. I may just return it and look for a body that functions.

So I tried all the potential combinations of components being on and off and lens settings and nothing changes, so fairly certain something is jammed in the camera body. The only other thing I’ve noticed is that the leaf shutter in the lens was maybe halfway closed, and it would open up when I...

Starting a new thread to continue on from my Pentax post. A quick recap. I got rid of the Pentax 67 because it looked like the electronics were fried, and went fully mechanical with an RB67 Pro S. The mirror is stuck halfway up. I am able to push it down to get the lens off, but it won’t stay...

Starting a new thread since this one was about a Pentax. https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/mamiya-rb67-pro-s-mirror-stuck.216460/

I just showed up today and yes it is a beast, and it seems to be the prism finder that really adds on. I have to wait for the rotating adapter to get here still.

RB67 Pro S on the way with a prism finder and 180mm lens. I’ll get a wider lens and second film back later on, and I think you can get 6x9 backs as well.

Mostly landscapes on a tripod. I do already have a Yashicamat 124G but am wanting to go 6x7 instead of 6x6.

I was referring to the cost of service, but with that being said I’m totally changing tack and am looking for a Mamiya RB67. I was looking on eBay and I can sell the Pentax for parts for more than I paid for it.

Thanks. I’ll have to save up. $400 for a non MLU 6x7.

Update. So I tried a sacrificial roll, a roll of Kodacolor X that expired in 1973. I would be shooting it at like ISO 2, and likely still getting no good results. Anyways, the shutter never properly fired, and I had to reset the mirror every time, and the exposure counter never even moved. And I...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I tried turning the frame counter with the door open and it seemed to do something, but now the mirror is stuck almost all the way up. Also the check battery light does not come on. Unfortunately returning it is not an option as I got it through Zen Market, a...

I recently acquired a Pentax 67, the first version, and it doesn’t have the battery holder. I’m putting a battery in the compartment, and the contacts are clean, but nothing is happening. My question is whether or not the battery holder is necessary, or is there something else wrong and I have a...

Thanks, it worked, but got stuck again after a few frames, but I didn’t use any kind of lubricant either, so I’ll have to get a hold of some and try that.
