So I went to ritz yesterday to a settle an issue regarding my camera, and ever since then (a lady there handled my camera and took a roll out) I cannot open the back of my camera.
I usually put up the rewind knob, but nothing happens.


Any suggestions?

You might take it back to Ritz and see how the lady did it.
Just a suggestion.
Richard.

Which Mamiya/Sekor camera have you got? Not enough information here.

I went to Ritz...they wouldn't admit to anything
the night I got my camera back I was able to open it, but realized the lady did something funky

Could your film door just be stuck? Try pulling open the door while pulling the rewind knob up. I have a different brand camera which does this because the door is slightly dinged. Doors an also be stuck closed by disintegrating foam.
