Rad Mamiya RZ67 Collection

The studio I bought has an extensive Mamiya RZ67 collection along with many of the accessories that go with it. 120 film backs, Polaroid backs, different finders, but most importantly a Phase One P25 digital back!
In this video we explore a bit of the collection and some medium format history before we get into using these cameras down the road.

    Awesome video, very informative. The RZ pro II with the 110mm lens is my dream kit. Looking forward to seeing how you shoot with them.

    Thanks! Working on a video of the first session I've done with it....but it will be brief and I have a lot more planned.

    Thanks for the RZ67 video. I prefer manual/mechanical cameras. I use two Mamiya RB67 medium format SLR cameras with 50/90/180mm lenses.

    You’re welcome! I have a bunch of vintage manual cameras and I have a lot of fun shooting them. That being said I’ll take my Canon R5 for my commercial, event work any day.

    You can rotate the digital back on the camera, just switch it to the R on the right sight of the camera and rotated, you got the adapter plate. You don't have to switch to another camera, put it in the R and rotate.

    Thanks! I did figure that out after calling the original owner. I knew it had to do that but jus could figure it out. All on me - I have the manuals here....

    Awesome! In my opinion this was long overdue… Love those cameras. Couple things… First, in my opinion they made their mark with the twin lens cameras. C330, C220. Second, I think the real strength of these cameras is the leaf shutter. Shooting outside with strobes, drastically under exposing the ambient light and exposing for the flash is one of the coolest things you can do Photography. But that's just me… I'm old

    During the pandemic I started to get these organized…then the bike vids started to have legs and I kinda forgot about the project. I did read about their TLRs I should probably use a teleprompter instead of trying to do this from iPhone notes. Left out a number of history bits I wanted in there- but I can bring them up in future vids. Definitely agree with the leaf shutter. Did I leave that out!? Well - going to photograph the Midnight Special for the thumbnail with strobes so that will be a good chance to mention it.
