I've recently bought a Mamiya C33 and I'm really impressed by it.
Unfortunately the single screw at the back which secures the hood to the frame of the viewing screen is missing, so the hood asembly falls off if I'm not careful when I pick up the camera.
Does anybody know where I can get one or the size and thread of the screw? I'd be really grateful for any suggestions.
Another minor problem is that the ground glass screen seems a bit dirty or oily in one area on the underside. Presumably this should be easy to remove and clean? |

The Mamiya TLR hood lock is actually made up of three pieces, the lock nut, stud, and spacer. These parts are actually part of the focus screen frame and were not shown as separate parts in Mamiya parts lists as the stud was staked in place on the frame. If you have or can make the proper tool to stake a new stud in place, I do have replacement studs and lock nuts. I no longer have stock on the spacer so you will have to construct a spacer to fit between the stud and the frame. Please PM me for details. I have attached a photo to show the relationship of all the parts if you choose to fabricate them yourself.
