I Recently received my "new" Mamiya 6 Automat II. I did not test the camera yet, but at a first inspection everything seems to work fine.
I just have one doubt. I am not sure that the lens is perfectly vertical and parallel to the film plane. Is it supposed to be this way?
Thanks
I am going to try to include a picture of the camera.

Standard not fully engaged?
Standard not fully engaged?
Looks like the front standard is not fully locked in place. Also, the trim piece in front of the bottom of the lens is tipped forward a bit far.
Is the front standard wiggly for and aft. I would say a notch in the bottom of the front standard is not dropping into it's proper location. You should not be able to wiggle the top edge of the lens standard/shutter fore or aft AT ALL.
My Automat, awaiting replacement of rangefinder with new silvered mirror by Jurgen. (CERTO6)

That's very useful Kuzano, Thanks!
It is tilting and not locking in place. I took off the trim piece and bent it back straight.
However the lens is still moving and not staying in place. It does not look like something I could fix by myself.
Maybe send it to repair is a good idea. The rangefinder also needs a little of adjustment.
