Does anybody know if this magazine is available anywhere for the 6008
series? I always wanted one, but I could not find it anywhere. Well, I
found it one place, but they wanted $2500, and that means that the piece is
technically unobtainable. I never understood why shoot 645 format, but only
in landscape. This was a "hot" format for modelling and fashion
photography, but in those worlds, wouldn't portrait be more useful?

Good news Frank!
Because mine had one up and one down, I thought there must be an esay way to
do it and that they were not connected; I can see your dilemma when both are
closed.

Thanks John - you're exactly right; was easily able to rotate the claws, and
it works fine again! I'm always a bit nervous about trying things like this
- there's so many interlocks with all the mechanical logic, never know when
you are pressing against logic versus against spring pressure!
Thanks again

Hi Frank,
Just to check, I looked at my magazine and one of the locking claws had
locked itself, the other was fine. I used a small screwdriver to carefully
rotate the claw outwards. There is a reasonable amount of spring pressure to
overcome but they just rotate. They are easier to press in because the
spring works to keep them in the closed position.
I have no idea why one should have tripped but it's fine now.
Just as a matter of interest, I have the 35mm version of that magazine too.
Very few were made. I hoped I would be able to adapt it to take photos 60mm
wide but unfortunately, the way it's constructed that's not possible.

Subject: [rollei_list] Rollei 4560 magazine problem
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can give me any advice / pointers before I send this in
for $ervice...:
I have a 4560 Magazine - this is the 645 magazine for the Rollei system, can
be mounted to the receiver in either landscape or portrait orientation -
that refuses to mount up to the receiver. On closer inspection, the two
'claws' on the magazine that grab the pins on the receiver are in retracted,
mounted, position and I can't seem to find a way to release them. The
receiver has the magazine release button (which seems to work by magic, as
there is no aparent movement at the magazine interface - so maybe magnets?),
but I can't find any way to get the magazine 'claws' to flip back to
unmounted position. I know the magazine has dismount lockout via slide
position detection, but can't seem to find any way to get the slide to put
the magazine into unmounted mode.
I have a second 4560 that works flawlessly on the receiver, so I know the
problem is definitely with the malfunctioning 4560, and not a receiver
problem. I use these magazines with an XACT-2; have never tried the
receiver on a 6008, etc., but should be the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks in advance!
