this is a joke isn't it. Your the first person I know that spent thousands of $$ into a camera without knowing that it has a zentralverschluß. don't know the english word for it. the shutter is in the lense. so if you don't have a lens on your camera then there is no shutter what you can do

No; it goes right on the body of the camera, without the lens. Chris just to make sure that i understand it the right way... you put your pinhole-lenscap on a lens and not on the body right? carsten. On Wed, 7 Feb 2001, James Romeo wrote: Do you use a cable release wth a lock open on

It really sounds like the Mamiya may be trying to save you from yourself, perhaps the shutter has a latch that mounting a lens (is it bayonette?) releases. Pam Christina Z. Anderson wrote: remember that Bulb Time are different things...Bulb needs to be held open hence the term bulb.
