NOT WELL!
Sad to report that my Mamiya 7 was dropped (not by me) and now is missing some of the side and bottom plate which seems fine in that there is no light leakage into the film back.
However, the various rangefinder screens don't work and the focussing is most definately out.
Where do I go for a refresher on the various screens (50mm has its own) but need a reminder of the 80 & 150mm lens screens.
I have been travelling for 6 months now in Patagonia, so I have yet to dev' any of the hundred 160 asa film, so I hope all is well! (The Nikon D700 has performed well, but the sensor is horribly dirty and the Lumix LX5 is a marvel of modern photographic engineering and I am seriously thinking of doing a book just from these images alone!!)
I assume that if I am using say f16 and manually focus using the lens barrell all should be well and most of the shots are landscapes anyhow it should not matter?
Thanks

I know nothing about the Mamiya 7. But that is just painful to read!
