Hi, I've recently got myself a Mamiya Six (1940's folder) but am having trouble understanding the film loading. I can't find a manual either (anyone?). Anyway, it has a film advance lock after each shot that you can release and wind on after tripping a little lever on the back of the top plate. Where do you set the counter/ advance wind prior to loading film at the start (arrow) position? I can't quite work it out. Thanks in advance |

There must be a dot or some indicator mark before the "1" so set it at that mark and then load. Try it with a roll of junk film a few times. |

Two helpfull sources could be :
This Japanese site, but it is about the 1955 model.

A belated addition to the discussion: I'm not sure if this is the proper procedure but it works for me. You can see that there is a red window on the back. Use that to set the first frame, then use the winder there after. |
