Finally my KL 4/65L lens arrived and i got it from the post office, now i should test this one before 127mm.

I am done with RB and RZ, any more lens i can afford or buy will be bonus, a macro or TS or tele are not my big main interest yet, i have 180mm for RZ, 110 on RZ and 127mm for medium range, and 50/65mm for wide end, macro will be next but which one, for RZ or for RB?

Personally, I think you've run out of GAS. Get a couple of extenders and use the 127 and 110 for your macro lens. Not much you can't shoot with your current setup.

True, i will use my current lenses for sure, and that extension tube or extender is in my wish or watch list.

Those photos look great! Can't wait to try mine out this weekend. I have the 90mm and 180mm lenses. Looks like i won't be disappointed.

Yes, tested 90mm first time i used RB and it was great, and now this 65mm is also a nice glass, you won't be disappointed, just make sure to choose a good film for it, honestly speaking, Acros and PanF and FP4 always amazes me.

I just loaded mine a few hours ago and exposed a few frames. Hoping to have some more time to finish the roll today and develop tonight or tomorrow. I happen to be using Tri-X 400

Finished and developed my first roll from my RB67! Now I just have to "scan" it with my digital and I'll post some pics. Unfortunately, I don't have a decent photo scanner yet so I have to use my D70 and Photoshop for now.

Nice, doesn't matter if you use a scanner or a DSLR, you know this site is not about digital, just post the shot from whatever device you have, can't wait to see.

I am also looking for to test my 127KL sooner or later, 90 and 65 are great lenses so far.
