Today was a day for Mamiya 645 Super mirror stop replacements. The Super is a bit more challenging for mirror stop replacements than the Pro as Mamiya added a notch in the Pro mirror box to make things easier for spring anchoring. I developed some techniques with magnification, lighting and special tools to make the job a little easier. If you have a Mamiya 645 Super or Pro, do check your mirror stop as they are likely to be broken or about to break. Easy way to check is see if you can get infinity focus in the finder. If not, then the stop is broken.
