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.
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.
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.
