Mamiya RZ67 PRO II - Manual (Page 42)

Using RB Series Lenses and Accessories
Lenses
1. Focusing
RB67 lenses are mounted directly onto the RZ PRO II ; however,
the bellows must be extended 7 mm in order to focus the lens at
infinity. Therefore, even when photographing distant subjects, be
sure to use the Focusing Screen.
CAUTION: Because of the differences in flange back between the
two series of lenses, the Distance Scale of the RZ PRO
II body
does not apply when using RB67 lenses.
2. Shutter Speed Selection
When a RB67 lens is mounted on the RZ PRO II body, use the
Shutter Speed Ring of the lens for shutter speed selection.
Be sure to set to the "RBL" position. Once this done all the other
speed dial settings are immobilized.
The shutter is cocked and released in the same manner as RZ
series lenses.
When using a Mamiya Sekor C lens for the RB series on the RZ
PRO II body, be sure to insert an optional interchange mounting
ring into the lens rear mount to assure correct coupling with the
camera body.
• Older RB Lenses should be checked before use, to determine if
their shutter torque is compatible with the RZ PRO II . Before try
ing, please send such lenses to the service department of your
country's Mamiya distributor.
Finders
When using the RB series PD Prism Finder or PD Magnifying
Finder be sure the Electrical Contact Cover is in place, for it is used
to depress the switch at the base of the finder.
CAUTION:
The RZ PD Prism Finder will not function on the RZ II . It cannot
be retrofitted.
