Not the front standard. The lensboard locking slider needs to be pushed down. Your photo shows it still raised.
it wont go any further down than the 2nd pic ^^Originally Posted by Chuck Pere
This thing. It should slide down.
Like this:
oh yeah thats down as it locks the back, I only un-did it to take the back off and showThis thing. It should slide down.
Try putting it like this and closing.
Look at the first picture in this post. The lensboard locking slider on the camera front standard should be slid downward as if you are attaching a lensboard.Apologies, should have added pics.
So I am undoing all these (in the pic) then shown halfway down the fold but right at the end it stops just before the latch. I dont want to use force but it looks like something is stopping it. I also properly undid (and pushed back) the bottom plate. Its annoying because it used to work just fine and seems like I have done something to prevent it closing properly
ah, just tried that, same thing(
In the #3rd original photo the bellows appear to being pinched. Just maybe?
Are both your infinity stops out front and out of the way? I can't tell from the photos.
I've got my 45A right here and I don't see anything that you're doing wrong. The lens board slider position makes no difference, my bellows were possibly worse than yours before I changed them, and I had no troubles with them. (Harder to close now with the new set.)
Would a bit more pressure help? That one photo looks like you're so close.
