Mamiya RZ67 Lenses


I have a question about attaching a lens to the RZ67 body. In the manual it states that the lens shutter needs to be cocked. It also states that when a lens is removed from the camera body, it is already cocked. When I look at the lens, the shutter cocking "pins" are at the green dot. how do you know if the lens shutter is cocked? I tried moving the pins to the red dot, but they do not stay and go back to the green dot. So does that mean the lens shutter is cocked?

  I think so. The manual says that the lens will not come off unless it has been cocked. Also that when the lens is cocked the pins will return to the green dot position and the shutter/aperture blades of the lens will remain fully open.
