Title: Imacon 132c sync issue
Post by: Jason Denning on January 29, 2010, 08:13:35 pm

Hi,

I have a sync issue with my imacon 132c on a mamiya 645 pro tl.

I recently switched to using the sync port on the back out of the flash sync of the camera, instead of the sync wire on the adapter plate plugged into the mamiya sync plug as the wire tore out, but the sync is off and all my pictures have a green and magenta cast, any recommendations on what settings to change the delays to for this? What I've tried so far has not worked?

Thanks

Jason

This is a back sync issue. I have had this with various other back/shutter combinations. You have tried to exclude a faulty shutter by testing another one? I once had a failing shutter (as well as a shutter release that gave me problems).

Another thing I did as a tweak for a failing Digiflex that gave green/magenta casts is setting the back to stuff like 'generic', 'Hasselblad 500series', Anything that will only provide a sync trigger to the back.
