Diagonal! Yes! Thank you!

I give you the title "Doctor of Science in Medium Format Photography"

Thank you for the useful contents. I've got a RZ67 II Pro with a PhaseOne 30+ digital back for M645 mount. I picked up an adapter from LensMod for $200 and everything's been working smoothly except for two-shot mode. I've tried everything I can think of for single shot mode, but I can't figure it out. Is there any way to set the P30+ for single shot?"

I was wondering how you use the polaroid "negative"? Very interested in trying new things. I have two backs for the camera but haven't been able to get it to work--I think the film is too old.

just use a hand grip.

Добрый день! Спасибо за фильм! С наилучшими пожеланиями из России!

Julio Ryuuzaki, Thank you so much for making all the educational videos!! You are Awesome!!!

Take Travis's advice. Use a cloth over your head to block the sunlight. That's photography 101.

From where can I buy the digital back to Mamiya Rz67 pro 2? Please give me some information about the price and place to buy

thanks Julio, very helpful! you know what, I can't find where to buy those kind of filters- do you have any idea how can I find them? thanks again!!!

Hey Julio, who makes the little box you mention at 0.59 in on this video so you can swap lenses without unplugging the cable please?

thanks!

Its 2024 when I'm watching this, and now basically impossible to shoot with an RB or RZ67 digitally, unless you want to shoot with a Hasselblad back. The adaptors for any leaf/phase back are simply impossible to get, and the very few that are available, are being sold by vultures for $3k - absolutely insane. Why on earth no third party has jumped on making these is bonkers. Someone would make a fortune making these adaptor plates. So yeah. WELL DONE to all of you who got a plate when these were still all being manufactured and didn't cost the price of a car. To the rest of us mortals, we are stuck with film. Also, wtf is the point of the pro iiD, if we STILL are required to buy this stupid adaptor! It's beyond infuriating that the fuggen camera was "designed" with digital backs in mind, yet they didnt bloody ship them with the adapter OR have some sort of design element built into the camera that accommodates any digital back. It seems like the only advantage of getting the pro iiD over the pro ii is simply that you don't need a cable. Whoopie do Mamiya! Great video and thanks, really loving watching your channel and going through all this, but it really feels like a dead end now, and ALL because of the stupid bit of plastic that is the adapter plate. A truly ridiculous situation in all honesty but it is what it is. If I were you, Id try and hook up with some clever folks in Tokyo and start making some ;-) hint

Coming here in 2024 as I am considering selling my Nikon D800 kit and getting a RZ67 Pro IID II D, so I was looking at Digital Backs for them. Everything was going great, and I had pretty much settled on getting the camera plus an IQ140 back, but THEN went to find an adaptor plate....(a HX701) and average price is €2000. Absolute INSANITY. Totally batshit. Two fuggen grand for an adaptor. Urgh. So yeah, that's the end of my plans. Full frame it remains for me. Thanks universe and money grabbing leeches.

Hello Julio and congrats for another amazing and very informative video, I’m about to receive my RZ67 Pro II next week, which I plan to shoot with my P45+ (on a two shutter configuration for now, since it will need to be awaken at every shot). I have a question about metering: I will use the AE finder, but since in theory I won’t have any way to tell the camera the ISO used by the back since I’ll have only the synch cable, will be a light meter mandatory to get the correct exposure right?

Many of the folks who initially loved the RZ, had fatal failures of the camera and now have gone to RB's. They weigh exactly the same but the RB is completely mechanical. Use pro sd backs and get reliability from light leaks. KL glass is newer and fantastic. Drop in a RickOleson focusing screen with split prism and the camera is a dream.

Thank you.

Hi @RyuuzakiJulio I’ve been looking online for a used Mamiya HX701 Digital Back Adapter Plate (you mentioned you got yours for $900?). I’m seeing them priced at $2,000 USD +!!! Do you know of any other place / resource where I could buy one for less?

Hi! Is there a list of triggers to use for different brands too? Does anyone know? Thank you!

im sure polaroid wouldn't stay afloat even if ur using them

know when to use a tripod amateur

I need this adapter ptate, very-very need it

Julio, i have Leaf Credo 80, Aptus-ii 80, Mamiya ZD digital backs and Mamiya 645afdii, df+ cameras. Thinking to try experience and to buy Mamiya RZ67ii or 67iiD. Should i do have an adapter plate to connect this RZ cameras? I 've seen they wrote for 67iiD don't need any adapters. They are right or wrong? where then i get this if it is necessary? Thank you. Cheers from Siberiya

Show what adapter plate i should to buy for RZ67iiD if i have Aptus-ii with Mamiya 645 AFDii. Need this set up for better differences?

I love the RZ, I shoot the fuji 100S and I know its medium format, but its not RZ67 medium format and I know you know what I am talking about

Would’ve been way easier to enter the info while tethered. I also learned my lesson.

No audio and background noise sounds like a waterfall.

Thanks to your videos, I’ve gone down the deep rabbit hole of digital backs. I’ve landed on an RZ67 pro, non II or IID. I have an existing Hasselblad H4X and 500CM. I messed around with the CFVII back on my 500CM and hated it. I just couldn’t get used to the massive crop. I then got a good deal on a P30 for my H4X, then a P25+. Fast forward to now, I got a sweet deal trading my CFV back for an IQ280, in H mount though, so I had an adapter 3D printed for RZ. The RZ system has totally blown my mind. The 140 macro lens alone, just amazing. So I’ve been using my P series backs, P30 and P45+ converted to infrared. The only cable I’m using is the phase one sync cable. I could easily use my H4X with the more modern lenses but using the rack and pinion focus system of the RZ67, to me has been more of the sweet spot. Thanks for shedding light on digital backs.

If you had to pick a digital back today for the rz proii which would you pick.

Its 2023... Is there a best value digital back available for my rs67 pro 2... To have more resolution & sharpness than the nikon d850 without having to win the lotto... Thanks to anyone with knowledge..

What if you have an orange light, film loaded, and the shutter still won't go? I took the film pack off to see if it would shoot without the lens or film back and just the housing alone wouldn't let me do it.

Mine has recently developed a weird error, when it shoot, it fires but it seems to not complete the exposure then gives a flashing orange warning light and solid beep sound for as long as I keep the shutter pressed. It started while I was working a few days ago and now I’m testing it on M mode with no film in. Many different lenses and many different backs and many different batteries, always the same weird error. Any ideas ?

I have a rz pro 2 so just get a 701 adapter and the digital back and I’ll be good? Or pc sync too

Very helpful in 2023❤ I had the problem yesterday 😢

yes, back is off, as for this to work (manual says how), you treat this like a LF camera, lens is the trigger, flash on the back, but also with this connection the "latency" setting comes into effect, how long to wait for a signal to fire, some backs use the shutter button on the back (e-shutter), others use a long latency mode, where you use the Body shutter, and the long delay is the signal time to get to the back, short is for XF/XT cameras, or the hasselblad H system, where connections are on the back via internal board circuitry inside the body, a lot faster than PC cables.

Hi Julio, I’m looking for so many many Mamiya rz67 flash setups. But I couldn’t find. Recently I bought a Neewer flash set. I would love to buy a profoto flash set but the trigger what you use is just a profoto air remote and a sync cable? Let me know what your setup is. Kind regards Manoah

I‘m having a problem capturing an image. I’m using an RZ Pro with a Mamiya M22 back. Right now I’m using an sync cord running from the lens to the back. I think I need the 8pin, but not really sure. Thanks, James

Thanks for this VDO waking me up on my Mamiya rb67. I wonder where can I buy polaroid film?

thx for the clip, it´s really interesting and useful. Having enough experience in FX and Z, I would like to switch to medium format again and I am looking for a body which can be used both analog and digital. I know it´s possible with most of the Hasselblads, but the price... So at last my question, can you use the digital back only with the RZ67 pro or also with the "normal" RZ 67? Thanks for you answer, regards Michael

killed a roll of provia100 lol

Didn’t show what it looked like in the laptop? 😢

is this good to buy today 2023?

Crab comparison

hello I need your advice please! I need to be able to correctly connect a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II to the IQ250 backup, and know how to set this backup, I already have it mounted with the HX701 plate at your recommendation in a video, how could I contact you? Thank you

Does this work with the RB67?

Thanks, This information is great to know - even today.

Hello Julio, Do you happen to know why my rz67 triggers speedlights twice? once when shutter opens and once when closing. I'm using godox x1t F trigger with godox tt685ii F speedlight, when I use the speedlight alone directly on the hot shoe it also gets triggered twice..

Very helpful video from a very kind person! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I did the same mistake with putting the batteries in wrong! lol😂
