Are you sure about the finders? I thought they might short out the RZ? Odds are most RZ bodies come with a waist level finder anyways.
The lenses you'll have to set the RZ body shutter control to RBL [something like that] and set the shutter speed on the lens.
Nick, I have the Prism Finder II (non-metered). According to the Robert White website, the "Mamiya RZ PD Meter Prism" also fits both RB and RZ (I think this gives a read-out in the prism which you then transfer manually to the shuter and aperture). There is also a "Mamiya RZ AE Prism II" which I suspect is the later model and offers AE operation - this is not stated to fit the RB, indeed I wouldn't expect it to.
Thought I'd dig up this old thread rather than post my own.
I'm curious as to whether the old RB non-metering chimney magnifying finder for sale in the APUG classifieds right now will fit my RZ Pro.
There should be no problems, but just wanted to double check with all y'all experts.
As you say, there should be no problems. Since the RB finders had no electrical interface, they pretty much operated independently and thus would work on any body they fit on. If I recall correctly, there was a chimney finder made specifically for the RZ that had all those fancy features like auto exposure and such.
Exactly why I want the older one. Cheaper, smaller, lighter, and has nothing on it that I will not use. I am also not sure if the later ones give you two magnifications, like the older ones do. I've never seen one in person and it is hard to tell from pix. The flip-up 6x check of the center dot on the screen is a great feature that I use for practically every shot I take on a tripod with my C series cameras.
My other ongoing search is for a non-metered prism for my M645 that does not have the all-too-common mirror separation line of doom.
Thanks for your reply.

That is the Reznitsky list I linked to.

Some sites - particularly lots of the older, not very active sites - are marked "not secure" by some anti-virus because they don't implement any of the more modern security provisions, even if those provisions are essentially unnecessary, because the page is essentially a graphic, with nothing non-graphical embedded in it.
If you encounter a webpage without any embedded links that was created a long time ago, is a static graphic, and hasn't been updated, it really doesn't present a risk.
Here on APUG/Photrio I've linked to the Resnitsky table many times over the years. You are the first to indicate any such warning. As I said, my quite robust internet security has no problem with it.

I figure that being Russian, who better would know how to stop malware, viruses, etc?So that's two of us, Alan, running Vlad's security. I hope that Sal doesn't notice

Thanks. From this table I see that the prism is not compatible with my camera. But is it about the work of electronics, or the type of mounting? I read somewhere that the type of mounting is the same on RB67 and RZ67.Welcome to Photrio.
I always refer to the Reznitsky Table when issues of RB/RZ compatibility arise: http://www.reznitsky.info/Mamiya/Comchart.htm
