So I loaded film for the first time into a medium format camera. And I guess, for the Mamiya 645e, unless I'm doing something wrong, the shutter release locks until you actually load film, and advance it to the first frame?
I put a battery in it before I bought film, and couldn't even use the TTL meter. I was beginning to think it was dead or something, couldn't activate the shutter or anything.
However, after loading some B&W film into it, and advancing it to frame one, I got the thing to take a shot, while I was playing with the TTL meter.
So the first picture I take with my medium format camera....is a DOH! with the lens cap on...so I can't even enjoy a nice oops floor shot! lol
