I'm having a problem with my Databack 4.  Date will not imprint on negative.  
I talked to Camtech, tested back by looking through front of camera (without 
lens mounted) in the dark to see the imprinting light flash when shutter is 
released. No light.
Tried a small wire connected between camera body contact and Databack contact 
point; got light on shutter release.  Conclusion: Databack, OK.  Then, why 
does it not imprint the film?
How high should the contact peg be on the Databack?  It looks a bit low, but 
it appears to be making contact with the body contactor. I am not sure, I 
can't see inside when the back is closed.
Does the light stay on when you close the refrigerator door? Sorry, just a 
feeble attempt at levity.
