My beautiful Mamiya is broken. First what happened, then my question. I bought a Mamiya 645 Super off of Ebay, promised to be in excellent condition, which it kind of was. I would've been fooled if the seller claimed it was never used. However, it was damaged somewhat in transport (this is what the seller claims, and I believe him). First, I noticed the focus screen wasn't focusing properly (infinite focus was blurry, around 5m was sharp at that setting). By fiddling around with the M UP switch I determined the mirrow was too low when resting. I thought about it for about a week and then tried what would happen if I lifted a little piece of metal that stopped the mirror when it was descending. When I did this, a little spring.. sprung out. See the pictures. So this is the problem. I don't know if anyone is repairing the cameras in my country (Finland), and I've already spent more money on it I intended. Can I fix this by myself? Thank you for any response you find the time to write as long as it's not spam.
