I looking for a flash for my Mamiya RB67 Pro-S. Currently I have a 577 flash for my Canon A series cameras. Will this flash work? Can this flash sync at all speeds or just 1/60? If not, what flash should I be looking at.

Any flash that can be used independently, that is, does not depend on the electronics of the camera, can be used with RB lenses. They are leaf shutters, so they will sync on "X" setting at all speeds.

For all practical purposes, electronic flashes are instantaneous. It's the camera's shutter which dictates the shutter speed.

If you are hand holding, I recommend the left hand grip which has a flash mount on it. I use a Vivitar 285 with mine.
