You only have aperture priority auto exposure with the AE prism finder. there is no auto anything with the waist level finder therefore no need to set asa. use a hand held meter.

SOURCE: Contax 137ma ASA will not move...

I have a very vague memory (I used to sell cameras many years ago) that there is a stop at ASA 400 to prevent you accidentally selecting a faster speed. I do remember something of the sort on a camera of that era but it may not have been the Contax. IIRC, you have to lift the dial a *second* time (i.e. a bit higher) to get it past the stop. Hope this helps but it may be a red herring!

SOURCE: no asa setting , how do I set the camera?

Is there a row of electrical contacts inside the camera's film chamber where the film canister goes? If so, then the camera automatically reads the ASA or ISO value from bare metal areas on the outside of the film canister.

ASA setting for M645

It's not on the body but on the finder. Assuming the finder has one, it'll be on the right side (as viewed from the back). See pages 13-15 of the manual available from http://butkus.org/chinon/mamiya/mamiya_m645/mamiya_m645.htm

Want to remove the cover of the canon new f1 ae finder fn to find out why the exposure info is not displayed (at the bottom of the viewfinder) in aperture-priority AE mode.

This is very complicated. Take it to a professional repair place - if you can find someone who is still willing to work on this. Most techs (including me) won't any more. You have to remove the front cover, then the left and right side top covers, which is about 20 steps. Set at auto/asa 100 for reference. there is a plastic knob that looks sort of like a hat on the shutter speed dial that is glued on and is hard to remove without damaging it. There is a locking nut inside the shutter release collar. Etc. If you can find a copy of the SPT issue with that camera covered it will help you a lot. try eBay

Mamiya C3 film advance

Hi there,Here's a link to a PDF instruction manual of your camera body.
http://www.cameramanuals.org/mamiya_pdf/mamiya_c3.pdf



It is possible that the crank handle is missing, as it is a removable piece. Bring your camera to a camera shop and see if they have a box of old parts to replace it with. You can either use a regular round knob, or (if you're lucky) one with a crank on it.


Good luck!

My mamiya rz67, which i have never used before, is making this long high pitched noise. i also dont feel the shutter is firing correctly.

Change the battery! This happened to mine too, I was terrified... never knew it took a battery until then, as I don't have a viewfinder with an inbuilt lightmeter. Unfortunately the rz needs it just to run, this is where the rb actually wins. The battery is underneath, you should be able to get a new one from a camera shop.

Mamiya 645 ADF viewfinder/meter issues...

You likely have a defective display module, probably with a dead back-light. Try putting a newly charged battery in it, but if the problem persists, you'll need to send it in for service.
