Hi
I recently bought a 65mm lens for my Mamiya. Loaded up some film and tested it out on Sunday, today I processed the film and found out there wasn't any exposure.
Checked I put the film in correctly, was ok checked the lens and found it not to be working.
Not sure what is wrong with it. If I take the back off and set the shutter button to no battery and press it, it seems to close (the curtain) before the camera shutter. Sometimes it will work and I will get a glimpse of light, but mostly it wont. If I set the lens to lock open, it might work 6 times then stop then start again. Ive cleaned the contacts, the lens itself looks in perfect condition, everything seems to work on it.
I have 2 other lens and they work flawlessly. Cant see any difference.
The battery is OK.
I have cocked the lens.
I can manually close the lens and release, everything works the same as the other 2 lens, but once I put it on the camera it is very intermittent.
I have had a look in history but cant find anything similar to this problem.
Am I doing something wrong.....its driving me nuts. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
