Great Video! One thing you have to pay attention to when adapting RB lenses to your RZ body is that some RB lenses (I believe the older ones) have a different flange distance and you'll be able to focus past infinity. Some people have told me that's not a thing but I have an RB and an RZ and I've experienced this first hand. It still works with no issues, you just have to pay a little more attention when focusing to infinity.

Outstanding information. Thanks for this!

Terrific survey. Wish I'd seen this when I bought my RZ67 Pro. But, this is my first studio camera. It came with the older AE Prism Finder and older 110mm lens. Have to always make sure the finder/meter is turned off between use or the battery will run dry in my experience..

I bought an RB 67 new about 1972. I keep very good care of my equipment and the camera and several lens are in nearly new condition. It's nice to know these wonderful cameras are getting the attention they so well deserve.

We just sold a tilt shift adapter for one of these at the pawn shop i work at for $80 AUD today. I spent hours and hours trying to research the item as it didn't come with anything other than it was sold along with a mamiya polaroid back piece. after hours of searching with no luck, it was posted for sale at the original price it was listed at when we bought it. It sold within 2 minutes. I have since found out it was the mamiya NI701. Bit sick to my stomach that it got sold so cheap, but also happy for the unbelievable feeling the person who bought it must be feeling.

Yes, you are right. The Mamiya RZ67 ProII is a great camera and has no optical disadvantages to my Hasselblad 500c/m. Unfortunately I had two issues with my Mamiya. First the shutter release button stopped working due to a magnetic failure inside the body. Second I had also the "click" noise of the focusing knob because of a broken sprocket. Both failures had been repaired for about 120€. The optical qualty of all my lenses are outstanding. Far better in comparission to the Hasselblad is the bright and large focusing screen.

one thing Nico, there can be a problem with the T setting, as if you set this the lens stays OPEN, until the mode is off, also the M-UP mode, like with the K\L lenses for the RB, just be careful as these can 'catch you out' if not carefull.

Briliant video! I would say another case for the Pro II is the RBL setting, so you can use RB lenses on the Pro II...don't beleve the Pro has that feature, dous it? I was super lucky when I got my Pro II. But the Pro (I) is allso a briliant camera. Anyway as stated grate video!

R Z-67 for sure (my opinion), the PENTAX is like a 35 mm SLR, but in a larger format, so when you load film, you are stuck with what you choose for the entire roll. With mamiya, you can shoot ISO 160, 400, colour, B&W all one shot, not wasting any rolls!! as you change the back ( film transport section of the camera) and its LIGHT TIGHT. also R Z is a bellows camera, with more lens choices around, Pentax has heavy lenses, BUT is a FOCAL plane shutter ( a few lenses do have a leaf shutter, but not all lenses); so it depends on style of photography, SLR or 'BOX" style suits different uses, R Z is better for macro & studio (size and weight don't matter here); Pentax has eye-level prism finder, so is better for street/ travel shooting.

When they don't even know what half stops are...

Luckily I’m 6’2 230lbs and chop fire wood with an ax for two hours a day, so I’m not worried about heavy

amazing video, but the sound of the lens (the one shot this video on) focusing is absolutely infuriating at least for me

Im sorry that got in the way of enjoying the video. The mic was pretty far away from the camera but will try to minimize it for future videos.

Mamiya best 6x6 camera? Hasselblad fanboy triggered!!

Hao I debated these too cameras for so long... eventually went Hasselblad for the smaller travel size and no electronics. Bellows close focus for portraits on RZ67 would be nice though and larger negative... and cheaper prices!

@@bthemedia I went through the same process and agree with you on those points. The RZ could be a nice option however, I also chose the Hasselblad for it's small and classic design. Think both systems are great.

Not the best 6x6, but man the features it has add a lot of value for my work. Will make a video showing why, but most of it is bellows, and cheaper lenses.

Exactly my thoughts! I couldn't settle for either so I have both. ;)

The Hasselblad is to me the smallest SLR system and that is a huge plus.

I've been scammed so much on ebay. All of them were broken bodies

Nico, why do you own so many RZs for? You don't need so many, do you? Think about THE OTHER PEOPLE

The buying advice doesn’t change despite the price. But yes, prices have changed a lot. The camera itself hasn’t changed or the lenses.

This information is still relevant regardless of price. You should think about the logic of any comments you might want to make.

GREAT information, thank you !
