Guys,
I got a very good deal on the products in the subject line and I am trying to start playing with them, however, they don't seem to be playing nice. I have troubleshot a few things. as indicated below, and I am looking for some input as to what I might be doing wrong.
I bought a brand new Mamiya HX-701 adapter and have used it to connect the ProIID and the Aptus II7. I was able to make two captures and now all I get is a beep and the orange light in the viewfinder when I press the shutter release.
Symptoms:
Without any back:
I can cock lever and fire only in M mode. I cannot fire in Normal mode unless the film advance gizmo is pressed in flush with the back surface of the body. This seems like normal operation.
With Film back WITHOUT Film:
I can cock lever and fire only in M mode. I cannot fire in Normal mode.
With HX-701 attached:
I can cock lever and fire only in M mode. I cannot fire in Normal mode.
With HX-701 + Aptus II 7 attached:
I can cock lever and I get a solid beep and orange light in the viewfinder next to the cocking lever. This happens in Normal mode and M mode.
The DB is set to the correct camera and lens and has a CF card. THe batteries in both camera and back are good.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ken
