Problem with exposure/light meter in Mamiya 7. 65mm 1:4 L lens

Mamiya 7 broken flex cable problem in the 65mm 1:4 L lens.

This is a common problem in the lenses for Mamiya 7 (also the version II), that, over long time with focus from near to infinity and back again, that the flex cable simply breaks on the very thin cobber wire.

wow.. exactly the problem with my lens. I just wish I had the technical skill to do what you did. Thanks for the video! Very informative and fun to watch.

Hello. I have a Mamiya 7ii and the self timer button has come out. Do you know where I can have this repaired in the US? I have the button and the spring.

Do you have the diameter of the steel ball for the aperture ring? I lost mine and need to order a replacement

Hi I used my Mamiya 7 II today outdoors in sunny conditions and the `LT` keeps blinking in the viewfinder despite bright
lighting conditions. The battery is fresh and the red warning light isn`t blinking, so the battery power seems to be OK.
This was with `AEL` selected.
When I tried the manual mode, it shows the selected shutter speeds, but doesn`t indicate if the right one is selected
for correct exposure. The `LT` keeps blinking though.
The Camera has worked fine up until now, any ideas what the problem is?

Thank you for this video! Where did you purchase that blue gasket that you're using, and what is it called? I want to purchase one for the same sort of repair on the 65mm lens.

this video is really helpful, however I was wondering if you offer repair services?

Did you use a multimeter to know which wire was broken?
