Hello,
I've just bought my first ever proper medium format camera, a Mamiya RB67 and have 3 lenses a 120 film back and a Polaroid back.
I've worked out mostly how to use it and on my second roll how to properly load the film back (first roll the exposure counter didn't engage)
However, I can seem to get my Canon 580 EXII speedlight to sync with the shutter? I have set the flash on manual mode and connected it to the PC sync socket on the lens with the switch on 'X' and the flash is firing when I hit the shutter but there is no sign of it on the Polaroid
I've put the same settings on my 5dmkII and the flash is perfect on the shot but for some reason it doesn't seem to be synchronized on the Mamiya? Am I missing something simple? A setting on the camera or flash that I'm not aware of coming from a predominant digital background?
Thanks for any help, it's driving me nuts!
Kevin
