Outdoor shooting with The Big One..... Mamiya Rb67 ProS

[Dcanalogue]

Hi folks!
Yep... this is a very big Slr! 🙂

It's been a long time my Rb67 was in the closet, patiently waiting for a serious outdoor walk.
The time finally arrived and I brought her for a walk into the nature and a semi-forgotten place.

I used it handeld despite my back complaints.
First roll: Ilford Hp5+
Second roll: Kodak TriX
Both souped in HC110 [H]
Apart for some mistakes.... a really nice day and some good shoots.
Definately a great camera with lot of good fetatures.

The whole test here on my Film Blog.

Handheld... You have my sympathies, Sir!


Very nice shots. Makes me wonder why I still keep a Graflex 4x5", these have that 'LF feel' to them for sure...

Well the weight is almost the same of a Graflex or my MPP Mark VIII..... 😀
And 6x7 is quite a big negative but.... LF is the "real" Big thing.
Next time I'll try to make a walk with it (and a tripod of course)..... 🙂

As the owner of an RZ, you Sir have my admiration. I have a small folding hand truck that I'm thinking of putting a tripod head on and hoping for the best.

Nice (and more modern) camera the Rz but, when possible, I prefer cameras with no electronics.
I enjoy the pure manual photography.... 🙂

I prefer my Plaubel Makiflex, I have owned a few RB's myself.
I also prefer cameras with no electronics.

Fuji GX680 125mm F3.2 and Mamiya RB67 Prism hacked to Plaubel Makiflex.
Ah, so nice to use

The mamiya 67's are great cameras and cheap. I assempled a RZ67PROII system with 50mm, 127mm and 180mm for next to nothing. I may go and pick up a 110mm too.
Nice pics by the way Dcanalogue

Kids' stuff! Go buy a 4x5! Or better still 5x7/13x18cm!

Seriously: nice start. Consider just 3x enlargements, when 6x7 can be indistinguishable from a whole plate contact print.

Cheers,

R.

Thanks! But, hey, don't pick up too much lenses.... because you'll have to carry the bear with you..... 😀

I won't or at least I won't carry more than three lenses at any time.
