Hello from Czech

I have seen the work of Miroslav Tichy, but regard him as a voyer of little talent. Sudek on the otherhand is brilliant (only my opinion).

Yeah I checked Tichy too. First time I see someone making his very bad photography a concept and selling on that, interesting
Not to be mentioned next to Sudek who is a prolific photographer.
@Korbel if you like imperfections I suggest you have a look at the work of Bernard Plossu, he has this flaneur, voyeuristic style and many times uses single-use cameras etc. But nevertheless great quality

The RB lenses have an auto manual selection knob on each lens that allows you to release the shutter at the same time you press the release button on the bottom right. However, if you switch that knob to manual and screw in a cable release into the knob, when you press the button on the bottom right, only the mirror goes up. Then, you have to press the cable release cable button to release the shutter on the lens. You wait a second or two so the mirror shake is gone before you release the shutter.

There is a dial cable release from Mamiya for this purpose. But you can do it fairly simply with a ordinary single cable release as i described.

Thanks for the tip, my cable should arrive any time now, so I will try

The implementation of mirror up and auto-manual switching actually varies a little bit between the different RB lenses, including lenses of the same focal length but different versions.
For that reason, you will want to find the instructions that match the version(s) of lense(s) that you actually have.
