Interested, but I don't need three bodies.

Wild. So it’s just a test target for the OTF sensor. I was imagining you somehow looked through it.

It's mentioned in the D-Flash manual as a way to check exposure without wasting film. There are no pictures nor discussion of it that Google or Kagi can find, which is wild, and I can't imagine how it would work. Does anyone know anything about this thing, or even better, have pictures?

Posting this here because it seems like the best way to disseminate it. Cleaned up the text and graphics so it looks nicer and is a little easier to read. I translated it from the German original (attached) as best I could. My German isn't really good enough for technical reading, but I think...

In Fusion?? That's usually a Solidworks trick.

It shouldn't rattle. It's not acceptable for a piece that large and that crucial on a camera this expensive to rattle. Also, in theory you can mount a flash on that shoe.

Wonderful. Hope that's still the case, the situation over there seems to change daily.

No.

...you shoot 8x10 and you think a Hasselblad is inconvenient to use? Camera is fine, comrade.

I have a Graflex RH50 70mm 6x7 back I thought I was going to modify to use as a panorama back, but I don't think I'm going to get around to it. I'd like to trade it for a Hasselblad 70mm back. RH is in good functional shape, winds smoothly, darkslide fits tight, no damage to the mounting...

Yep! It’s bitten me a couple times, I own a $40 EOS-1V in perfect shape because of this.

I got a very good deal on it, and since I was able to fix it so simply, I’m still happy. I like fixing things, so I actually saw a reason to open it up as an opportunity. Seeing how simply the body comes out of the shell and how accessible the whole mechanism is gives me a great deal of...

Thanks for all the responses, y’all. I’ve had the camera apart (to fix the loose bayonet mentioned in a different thread), so I may pull the hooks and see about massaging them back into shape. I’m a machinist by trade, so I might look into making myself a couple of stainless steel ones that...

Both! The screws holding the tripod plate (which also hold the shell onto the body) were loose, as was the bottom screw holding the bottom of the bayonet plate. In concert with the scratches near the barely-functioning MLU lever, quite a bit of scraped-away metal on the forward lower edge of...

I can wiggle it by grabbing it. On closer inspection, the shift happens when the mirror flips and the barn doors open; it will stay in that position until the shutter is tripped and the shutter button released. When it shifts back during firing, the lens release button shifts with it by the...
