First Roll back with Mamiya RZ67

[digital&film]

I messed up the loading.. went past the arrow and lost 2 frames, but I'm very happy that the camera (and meter) performed well.

Here's a shot.. Ilford Delta 400, Nik Silver Efex, low res scan just to test.

Welcome to the RZ Club

My whole Rodeo series on my website was shot with my RZ before it fell apart. It's an incomparable format. Nothing draws photographs quite like it.

nice!

I'm very happy with it.. it (the camera) seems to feel tight and in good shape, so now the quest for glass begins. The 110 2.8 and the 60 are in my sights.. any other good lenses for the RZ?

RZ + Dogs = my favorite photos.


The 180 W-N is fantastic.

The 127mm is a terrific lens, less desirable than the 110mm so a bit less expensive. Slightly longer than normal, it was my favorite. The 180mm for close up portraits is an amazing lens; you feel like you are looking into someone's soul.

My advice, get one lens and shoot with it for six months.

The 110 2.8 is an incredible lens. The extra stop is really helpful. It is also lightweight which makes the RZ easier to carry around.

My RZ kit is made up of the 110mm, 180mm and 50mm. I have not yet felt the need for any other lenses.

I've tried the motordrive once with the dog in the backyard, but the weight is kinda too much. Same goes for the prism finder.

Don't shoot in the backyard; take 'm inside. Let them feel who's the boss. Mine was a Basset Fauve de Bretagne; not afraid of anything. but after 17 years t'was enough

All the RZ Lenses are great. I'd get them in this order

110
65 m/la
180 wn
140 m/la
50 uld
All the apos
37
Tilt shift with short lenses or the 75 shift.
1.4x adapter

That should be enough for most things.
