Mamiya 645AF: Film/Digital backs, loading film, and battery

Hi all,

I've just posted this on my blog. It shows the Mamiya 645 AF, Mamiya 645 AFD II, Mamiya ZD digital back, and film back.

The film back wasn't working so I set on to figure out way. I started by trying to load a film, which is there in video.

Then I realised it was a very simple issue but worthy of mention.

There is also good advice regarding what to do when you mirror/shutter do not flip up when you remove the back from the camera.

Check it out here and let me know what you think:

Feel free to leave comments, share, send questions, requests, +1's, donations for my tuition, and anything of the like. Also, bookmark the blog and check it often. Wink

I hope this post helps anyone.

To the admins: I'm not sure this is the best section for this post, but the Mamiya AF is an autofocus medium format SLR, so I thought the AF corner might be a good place. If you think it fits better somewhere else please feel free to move the thread where you think it should belong.

To the members: let me know what you think. Smile

Cheers

Thank you KingRoach.

I moved the topic to the film slr / tlr cameras room.

I just spotted your ebay sales - I'm drooling.
However, looking at possible routes into eventually getting a digital back, I've decided that the best option for me is to stick with Mamiya, since I've got a system of sorts and get a Pro TL and hope to eventually pick up a back that was offered for them by a couple of people. Once the price drops below a small car, of course.
