Help need ( and appreciated ) from Mamiya 645 Pro/Super users

link to shutter sound

(Note: the sound is at a specific pitch and frequency, so you might have to use your earphones to hear it. It sounds louder IRL)

Fellow users, I need your input. In the video above, when I trigger my Mamiya 645 Pro TL, there is a slight "spring" "pinging" noisefollowing the mirror slap.

Is it specific to my camera, or is there something wrong with the camera/ back?

It sounds similar to the infamous Fuji GSW690 series "ping" which is caused by a loud spring. Source:

Thank you all.

the shutter sounds fine. i do hear a low click/thuk a bit afterwards. it happens simultaneously with your removing you fingers from the camera. (not saying there's any relationship, just identifying when i hear it)

i then fired my pro tl - no such sound. good luck

Does it make the same sound at all speeds? I hear a hum but cannot tell if its the camera or recorder.

i say recorder... don't know what would hum on a tl without a winder.

p.s. sometimes when i'm listening for something, i hear it whether or not it's there....
