The frame counter is driven by the first turn around roller on the supply side (thickish black roller) and you have to bond the main roller body to the rubber ring at the insert-top end in order for 35 mm film to drive the frame counter. On my 220 back, I used the tiniest drop of super glue and it appears to work correctly (though I haven't shot another roll of 35 mm film since then).
I wonder why Mamiya had them as separate parts where previous models didn't do that?
I've just gotten the negatives back from the lab and finished scanning them. Don't have a way to scan the rebate area to get the full use of the image area, but here are a few of the shots I took scanned with normal Epson 135 holders. I also shot some portraits and portrait-adjacent photos (which I won't upload here) and I must say I really like the things you can do with the panoramic frame.
Those look great! That's certainly encouraging progress - enjoy this new direction!I've just gotten the negatives back from the lab

+1. I agree completely.I find when you go beyond CinemaScope aspect ratio of 2.35:1 to 2.66:1, the suitable subject matter decreases exponentially. i already have trouble with 6x17, so currently i go no wider than 6x12.
