Hello

I bought a Mamiya 6 recently. It is in good condition, and it has worked without flaw since I bought it two weeks ago, but today I tried to use it with flash and encountered some problems. The hotshoe wouldn't fire either of my flashes (a Yongnuo 560III and a Contax TLA200) and neither would the synch port. Additionally, I tried to fire a wireless trigger, and I also tried using a PC to hotshoe adapter. In short, I have tried every variation I can think of but could not get a response.

It seems very peculiar to me that neither hotshoe nor PC are working. Otherwise, the camera is in very good condition. The hotshoe and synch port are clean. The contacts on the lens are clean. All other electronics within the camera are operational (LED display and light meter).

I've seen a few posts by people in Mamiya 7 forums who've encountered this problem. I wonder if anyone has found a solution.

Cheers,

David
