Oh wow...good to know.The RB67 is excellent for handholding down to 1/15s, and in this it has a definitive, conclusive advantage over the classic Hasselblads (500-series) and the earthquake-like Pentax 67 cameras.
In fact i find it more handholdable on slow shutter speeds than my 35mm SLRs..
Oh wow...good to know.
I just purchased a near-mint RB67 Pro-S with a 127mm lens on ebay.
I'm psych'd!
So far, I'm very jazzed up. It's funny. It's a brick and klunky but it's so much of a pleasure to use.Great buy, once you get used to the size and weight you will love it! Unless you don't get used to the size and weight...
The 127/3.8 is a good quasi-portrait lens. (It is not really a "normal" lens but longer than normal)
That's just about a perfect summary of highly capable manual cameras.once you get use to it... its hard to use any other camera... you'll always be looking for the clutch pedal.
If I can just tag onto to the end of this Mamiya train....... I am looking for my first MF Camera.
Have no idea What/Why to buy.
As long as we are talking Mamiya, would you guys consider the RB (sd) over some type of 645.?
Thank You

Does not look like one to me. My SD back has an SD logo on the leather located on the non-winder lever side. Also, the SD backs always seem easy to spot to me by the more squared shoulders of the back. The earlier units seem more rounded, like the look here. I also noticed the condition of this one seems to have the leather pulling away from it on the edges. Maybe a lot of mileage on it?Is this an SD back.?

Hello Paulglad you're enjoying the new camera. have you developed the film yet?.... thats going to be a big smile.
btw i have a few bellows hoods if you're interested... pm me?
Ridiculous to say the least. Probably first time I've read one needs to go into a war zone when dealing with DOF on the RB, but there is always a first.Kyle, it may be "plenty accurate" but is hard to read and fiddly to do.
And the rotating ring doesn't set the depth of field. It only tells you what it will be if you have correctly negotiated the hard-to -read chart on the side of the camera. But I agree, it can be done....
