Just for anyone else interested, the difference between the RZ Professional Film Back and the RZ Professional II film back, is the first edition has foam light seals, the Pro II film back just has no foam seals, just a metal lip design that stops light entering without the need for seals, which is why the II film back costs a little more. Worth paying more for the upgrade in my opinion as foam deteriorates over time.

hello, i cant access my af mode… its gray

This isn't a trail its private property. This is an old weather Tower ship Beacon. The property was once owned by the cole from the 1930 to 2000. The land across the train tracks lower right from where they are sitting my great grandfather built the family home and where i grew up.

I wish the lighting were better and the video in focus.

cant conect the back, do i have to have it on m?

Super helpful...thank you!

This is a great beginner tutorial, I would assume at least 😂 I am a beginner and I feel like I learned enough to use it.

Ew

This is an excellent video and overview of the RZ--Thanks! I've been shooting an RZ67 Pro II for over 18 years. Here are my thoughts: (1) There are two eye-level finders, one with metering and a cheaper one without metering. They're both heavy AF and not worth carrying. Their only value is when the RZ is on a tripod and then only with the optional flip-up magnifying eyepiece that also has a diopter adjustment. This magnifier is good for super critical focus. For walking around, the waist-level finder, with your correct diopter in the pop-up magnifier, is the only way to go. (2) Get either a phone app or a Sekonic 308 for your metering needs. The eye-level finder's weight is not worth its meter function for handheld shooting!! If you're dead set on having an on-camera meter, get a KEKS (or similar) light meter and mount it the RZ's hot shoe. Personally, I use the Sekonic 308 for walking around. (3) Speaking of walking around, put the RZ on a (preferably carbon fiber) monopod with a 1-way tilt head, *_not a ball head!!_* Then you can carry it around all day with it over your shoulder like a hobo's bindle. The monopod also serves to steady your shots. I can easily get an extra 2 stops with a monopod, and 3+ stops if I can wedge it against a fence or some other steady object while taking the shot. The monopod also serves to hold the camera for you when reloading film. While seated and with the monopod against your leg, simply tilt the head/RZ forward to easily change the film without having to put anything on the ground. Plus, the apparatus works like Thor's hammer if you ever need a self-defense weapon. (4) A few more points: - Older Mamiya RB lenses will fit on the newer RZ, but not the other way around. - Although RB lenses will work on an RZ, RB backs are *_not interchangeable_* with the RZ. - RZ backs consist of an "insert" within a "shell." The shell is the same, but the inserts are either 120 or 220. - There is also a metering hood for the original RZ67. Hoods factory modified for the Pro-II are very rare. - As for GAS, there are more lenses, gadgets and gizmos for the RZ than any one person knows about. - There are multiple versions... The original RZ67 Pro (1982), RZ67 Pro-II (1993), and RZ67 Pro-IID (2004) - The Pro-IID is the most expensive, but has additional pins for the Mamiya HX701 digital back adapter. - The HX701 digital back adapter is super convenient but is both rare and massively *_expensive_* - If you have a Pro-IID + HX701 it's compatible with Leaf Credo backs and Phase One IQ series backs. - Even the RZ67 Pro-IID with a couple of lenses is far cheaper than a Mamiya 7 with a single lens. There is an extensive online encyclopedia of the RZ67 system at: emulsive.org/reviews/camera-reviews/mamiya-camera-reviews/a-complete-guide-to-the-mamiya-rz67-pro-part-one-deep-system-overview

How many hours

Is the front rear apper suppose to be a lil b flimsy?

Dude! your too rough with that camera.

Wt eff. What? Why is mine still stuckkk 😭

Keep your knees bent and instead of leaning your whole body to move in a direction, translate your hips towards the location you'd like to go. Also, just make sure your tire pressure is up to your comfort, as it will add longer tire life :) Don't worry if it takes a bit to master, I've ridden one to class for years and I'm still getting in situations where it's a bit difficult 😅

The good thing about xr's is the amount of aftermarket items out there to make it your own.

I figured out this is so fucking old bug and apple does not care about. lmao, apple, u sucks

You’re steaming it like milk 😂 can’t break old habits 😅

The color correction looks great

This you?

Either he’s just pretending to be stupid, or he really is 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thank you so much for the video, I recently bought this camera and you have taught me some things that other channels havent even covered.

I’ll be there in August to see just how well you met the challenge

Just purchased this camera, it's my first ever. This video was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

This is so fucking helpful just ordered one with the 35mm 2.0 can't wait!

Slide was in. That’s why it did not fire.

Thanks!

It WAS amazing !!

Silence *abortion noises commence*

Is this fixed on monetary

Have the same problem with Bose 700. Does anybody have a solution to fix this shit?

let us know if you find a solution please!

Hey, I know it's been a while since you had this problem but maybe you still remember how you got it fixed? I got this exact problem as well.

I have quite the same issue. I own a pair of HyperX Cloud II Wireless and sometimes when I change the volume using the headset's volume wheel the balance changes. I have the exact same laptop. Did you find any solutions to that?

Required viewing for every photo assistant

Let's give this a cry Yes!

Thanks Ben! The "safety plate" is typically called the dark slide.

Well that was fun!! I am starting in 2 days! Hope it goes as well 😁

Helpful. Thanks.

Boom

I knew this was gonna be a thumbs up from the second I heard the intro to Benny Hill

How long did it actually take you to do all this?

Best video I have seen so far explaining this camera. Thanks!
