RZ67 with C lens

[ijsbeer]

Hi everyone,

I've bought a very nice Mamiya RZ67 professional with a 90mm c lens. I'm very happy with it but something I don't understand.
Is it possible to make bulb exposures?? when I set the lens on T then the shutter wil open but only closes when I move the lever. This is not very handy because of camera shake I think.

Does somebody have a better solution?

hope so

cheers.

Here is a link to the manual

You have to move the shutter speed dial or the cocking lever to release the shutter once you trip it in T mode.

Hi Randy,

Thanx for the good suggestion. Think it wil work without moving the camera.

Cheers,

Yep! If you are using a tripod sturdy enough to support the camera without moving easily, turning the shutter speed dial will have no effect. I do this with my RB quite a bit and I've never seen movement problems.

Thanx you've made my day. I was worried I bought a combo with no easy bulb setting.

I use the RZ with RB lenses (I think the C lens is for the rb?) and have no problems with the setup.

Another option is to put a dark piece of card (cloth, hat, etc.) up to the lens before you close the shutter. Then any shake caused by touching the camera is not recorded on the film.
