Door Channel Foam – 195mm Long – No Adhesive
USCamera imported Black open cell door channel foam without adhesive. These strips are 195mm long. Available in thicknesses of 1.50mm, 2.00mm, 2.50mm, 3.00mm with various widths. Made in Japan for USCamera.
These seals are the most common sizes used for most film cameras. I find them much easier to install than adhesive backed foam and more permanent when glued down with contact adhesives like Pliobond. Just a few examples of the applications for these foam seals...
- a 1.5 x 1.5 seal was used in the body channels on the Nikon FE, FG and FM series cameras and more. The Minolta SRT, and X series body channels also use a 1.5 x 1.5 foam seal.
- a 2.0 x 2.0 seal was used in the body channels for the Canon A-Series camera. Also fits the OM series cameras body channels.
- a 3.0 x 3.0 can be used the Mamiya TLR cameras back cover.
- a 3.0 x 3.0 seal strip can be cut to 39mm long and used as a mirror cushion for most of the A-Series cameras.

Mamiya RB Film Back Seals
This USCamera custom seal kit set will service all RB 67 RB 67 Pro/Pro S 120, 220, and 645 film backs. The RB film back consists of the shell and insert. In checking these film backs for years, if the shell seals are bad so are the insert seals, therefore I recommend replacing them as a set.
The 6 piece insert kit includes channel seals for the front of the top and bottom covers, top/bottom seals left guide roller plate and top/bottom seals right guide roller plate.Â
The 4 piece shell kit includes 2 door channel seals on the back cover, 1 back cover hinge seal and 1 back cover door latch seal.
Also, check the revolving adapter. When the film back seals are sticky, the revolving adapters foam is usually sticky also. Mamiya made different adapter plates for the RB Pro and the RB Pro S/Pro SD. Links to the placement guides will show you what you need to know about them.
We have received many orders for the seals either for shell or insert only. I contacted many of those customers and most didn't realize they needed to check the other half of the set. That being said, if you are absolutely positive you want to purchase them separately, go here shell or insert.
