Mamiya push-on focusing knob for RB/RZ/TLR

[Deleted member 88956]

Any users of this push-on extra large knob Mamiya made for RB/RZ/TLR cameras?

One question is in-use experience compared to plain Joe set up.

Second, were there different sizes made, or they were all cross compatible with all Mamiyas with focusing rack design.

I'm fairly sure I want to try one, just have not heard much about it.

I have both the right and left knobs on my RB ProSD. The crank side knob has a relief in it to allow the passage of the crank. I find them excellent for my use in focusing adjustments.

So that right hand knob is like a "hat" style so knob is away from the body to clear the crank? I suppose that knob would work on left side as well just not the other way around?

You're correct. The hat style will work on either side. Those units, as I recall, are a bit harder to find compared to the non-crank side style units.
btw: they're both the same diameter so the feel for both left and right are the same.

Great, just got the complete set, both knobs, coming in seemingly nice condition for $45 posted.
