Hi guys,

As I was unloading some film from my Bronica ETRS, i found this rolling around inside the camera back, it has come off from some where but no idea where, or where to put it back. I loaded some new film, and it seems to be working fine...but i would like to put it back. Here is a pic of it:

thanks!

i found it rolling around the bottom of the back compartment where the film back fits into
 
Took the back off and looked at mine, and it could one of the rods that slides in the slots and sets the shutter (?) or brings the mirror down.........with the back off see if both rods are there.
 
Hi Tom

Take a look at ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270549228497&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D270549228497%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Scrool down to the last photo, what you will see on the left hand side is the film insert. It has 2 silver looking sprung plates, these push against the reel of film as it gets would on etc. At the very end of the two sprung plates you will find a roller, or in your case only one roller as the other one you now have in your hand. Thats where it's come from, the reel pain is getting it back in........ it can be done, but try it with no one around because you might let the odd word slip when it springs out again.

Good luck

Indeed, its the roller for the spring plates. I had the same problem; and putting is back was fairly simple. Just crimple the ends with a thin nosed plairs once you have put it in

I also shot at least 1 roll without it, doesn't make a big difference.
