Another needy info for Mamiya MF

DaveeD · 15th March 2004

I encountered problem with my polaroid backs for RZProII.
Got 2nd piece from a set that i bought recently.
Both r identical except the older one do not have a coupler
which to be in contact with the film advance coupler at the body.

What drives me wild is that it can only work with my 1st body
and cant be used for my 2nd body, which result shutter release button jam.

On the other hand, the 2nd one which have the coupler
can work for both bodies as usual.

When i inspect the 1st back further, i noticed that the plastic spreader
of the steel rollers are from different make from the 2nd one and found a tiny sticker pasted near it, says: MODIFIED IN JAPAN. very cheapo huh?

Any RZ user know why there are 2 different types?
Could it be modified from 67 to attach to 67ProII?
