Mamiya RZ67 Pro II Body Only, RZ67 PRO II manual Removing the Lens

Removing the Lens

1.Push the Cocking Lever of the camera body completely down, which will set the mirror and cock the lens shutter.

2.Rotate the Bayonet Ring of the lens counterclockwise as far as it will go (the white dot on Bayonet Ring will align with central red index line of lens) and remove the lens.

If you try to rotate the Bayonet Ring counterclockwise without first depressing the Cocking Lever of the camera body, the movement of the ring will be blocked, making it impossible to remove the lens. This safety feature assures that the mirror must always be lowered whenever the lens is removed, thereby assisting the Light Baffle in shielding the film from light.

To release the shutter on a lens which has been removed from the camera body, rotate the shutter cocking pins “B” clockwise as far as they will go, while depressing the shutter lock pin “A”.

CAUTION:

When attaching/removing the lens, be sure not to rest the camera on its back unless ei- ther a roll film holder or the back protective cover is attached. This is necessary to pre- vent damage to its various spring loaded function pins.
