Mamiya RZ67
The Mamiya RZ67 is an iconic Japanese medium format camera. Mamiya has released 3 different versions of RZ67 system: RZ67 Pro, RZ67 Pro II and RB67 Pro IID. The cameras are famous for their amazing modular system and the rotating back, which allows the user to shoot the 67-format in landscape and portrait orientation without rotating the camera. These cameras are known to be workhorses and have served many photographers inside as well as outside the studio. As most medium format cameras, the lenses for the RZ67 system are equipped with a leaf shutter, which allows faster sync speeds for speedlights or strobes (whereas most focal-plane shutter medium format cameras are limited to 1/60th of a second). The shutter speeds of the lenses range from 1 second to 1/400th of a second. The RZ67 is a semi mechanical system that does require a 6V 4SR44 or a 6V 4LR44 battery to operate (unless you operate the camera in emergency mode, locking the shutter speeds at 1/400th of a second). The camera body has a standard hot shoe on the left side and build in LEDs in the viewfinder that inform the user of the state of the camera. Because the focussing happens via a built-in bellows system, the camera allows you to get up-close and personal with your subject. One of the biggest changes compared to the RB67 system is that it no longer requires a separate rotating adapter. Instead, the adapter is build into the camera body. As with the RB67 system, the RZ67 allows multiple exposures to be taken per frame.
The RZ67 can accept RB67 lenses. However, this implies that the camera body no longer dictate the shutter speeds. Instead the shutter speeds on the RB67 lens should be used.
The standard 67 back, allows you to shoot 10 frames per roll of 120 film. 645, 66 and 68 backs are also available for the system.
