I have been shooting since 1959 and the viewfinder on my RB with an oleson split prism screen is the best view finder I have ever used. It makes taking a picture FUN. Bright, easy to see split prism lets me confidentally nail focus in a split second.

To anybody that owns the camera,is it normal that the lcd stays on when there is film inside?

I use my RB67 on the studio or for macro work. I use the Hasselblad 500 C/M in the field. I think for studio and macro work, that is where the RB67 shines.

You only want fully mechanical cameras good bye my beronica S2A With 3 Landers

Buy a 645 camera and you'll never be disappointed. The RB is a studio camera.

1/400 sec sync speed. Interchangeable backs allowing changing film mid roll. 645 backs if want more frames or like the grain result. Gorgeous lenses. Super bright view finder... I replace the finder with a Rick oleson split prism focus. But there are things you can accidentally do that will destroy shots or whole rolls. Back light leaks kiss off whole roll, mirror up accidentally on lets you think you are hearing it shoot... it's not and get a blank photos. Accidentally trip the multi exposure lever, you shoot on one frame til you switch it off. Meter improperly, you just screwed up that shot If you mount the lens uncocked or shutter not cocked you may not be able to get it off the camera. Film cost say $10 per roll and if you mail it for developing and scanning and get negs back, $25 plus 10 is $35/roll... for 10 shots. Do he math... $3.50 for every clunk of the shutter/mirror. Screw up 5 or 6 rolls because of the above problems and you have pissed away $150 and don't have the photos you took. This is NOT a camera for those new to film photography or who don't do their film develop/scanning. Doing that is about $1.20 per shot. Think about that and $3.50/shot when you are starting out.

amazing!

Awesome video. Great info!

great vid dude! for what it's worth during 'T' mode long exposures you don't have to hold down the shutter release cable the whole time - pressing it down once will trigger the leaf shutter to open, and turning the shutter speed ring / cocking the lever slightly will reset it, like you said!

Without euphemistic language, "This is what every professional camera should be: A heavy duty military truck with an image comparable to any other of the medium format in the market!!!

It appears that you are basing your colour comments on the scans and I am curious how the skin tones looked on the actual slide! Velvia 50 and Ektachrome E100 are pretty much all I shoot for film, although I did just buy a roll of Velvia 100

i desperately want to clean your glasses 🥵

Nice work Evan!!

This was great, Evan! Really fantastic content!

Really love the look of this. Kind of reminds me of a blend of Tri-X & CinestillXX

Look, I admire the effort put into this film (even if you don't make the film, packaging, distributing and marketing it is still a tonne of work) but man... There are only two 400 speed film stocks currently made in Germany - Filmotec/Inoviscoat P400 (most commonly sold as Bergger Pancro 400) and Filmotec/Inoviscoat N74 (also known as ORWO N74 or Lomography Berlin Kino 400). Both films have plenty of developing recipes out there, including properly tested ones from Bergger and Lomography. So why the whole 'oh only we can develop this film right now and later only our magic developer will be able to make it sing for home developers' thing? Comes across a wee bit dishonest.

I can almost bet that this would develop just fine in rodinal stand development at one hour.

So this is ORWO 400 pushed to 1600 but can only be developed by them? Have you pushed ORWO 400 film to 1600 and develop in a common development and see if it’s similar

Look at youuuuuu! amazing

Dope video, great photos too bro. I’m in New Zealand so the films a bit out of the question but had a great time watching 📷

Wow! Does the print of the month club also get entered in the raffle? Also, I thought I was gonna get DP credits for this one ;) lol

Fun fact: 110mm F2.8 K/L actually exist as engineering sample lenses, but never went into mass production. They are like Sekor Z 110/2.8 but for RB67 and fully mechanical, super rare to find.

Seems crazy and out of this world that you find the RB easier to handhold than the pentax, i have both and the rb/RZ design is the weirdest to handhold

Nice review, can you turn off the flash?

Hi, cool work! We'd like to collaborate, how can we get in touch? :)

I have an RB, Pro SD, and it's my favorite tote about camera

I keep coming back to this video, i love it!

The lenses are much better on the Pentax 67 though - sharper and faster. Can't beat the 105mm F2.4. I owned both RB and P67 and the P67 just is a better performer in portability, shutter speeds (the RB tops out at like 300-500 compared to 1000 on P67), sharpness of the lens, choices of lenses, etc. You can also get waist level viewfinder on the P67

My RB67 Pro-S arrives tomorrow. Stepping up the the 67 from the 645 and can't wait for all that real estate to play with on my negatives. Thanks for your thoughts!

Your commentary and individual photo review is so great!

The high contrast and cool colors are so perfect for beach photos! Love the vibe it gives. Great shots, as always

absolutely fire photos and great review, Mountain Dew comment got me hahaha

expired or not that stock held up fantastic, and what a killer first roll too, I loved just about all those shots man. Great stuff. I also dig this style of video. simple and to the point. May have inspired me to crank out of few of these!

solid review man, binging your content today. been meaning to get around to it, but here I am lol

lol, that person digging for crabs is me 😅

Awesome bro!

Nice camera review but waving that mike around is very distracting.

At one time, I used three Mamiya TLR cameras (C3, C22, and C220) with the following lenses: 180mm f/4.5 80mm f/2.8 55mm f/4.5 When it was time for me to replace my worn-out wedding cameras and lenses, I replaced them with two RB67 SLR cameras and the following lenses: 180mm f/4.5 90mm f/3.8 50mm f/4.5 Even though my TLR and SLR medium format cameras required that I separately cock the shutter and advance the film, for some reason, I seemed to get more accidental double exposures with the RB67.

How long have you been doing content creation like this? You've got some great production value deserving of more subs

I think the Ricoh GRIII(x) makes a better "companion" (to any main camera btw). I do think x100v is closer to the M6 tho for an alternative.

My Dad brought home his RB and some film from work when I was a teenager, and I was hooked. So, I’ve been using them on and off since, say, 1980?

What recipes did you use for Fuji ?

am I allowed to say the photo of me is my favorite??? 😅😝

Hmmm.... Frankly, both cameras got fad'ed up by social media, and are both poor values as photography tools. Better equipment choices abound.

This is dope sir. As a kid from SJ, i approve 💪🏾

But can the M6 make me look as good at pool as the Fuji did?! Killer vid partner.

pancakes 🥞

I think RB67 is better in the long run for studio/landscape shooters. On the other side, ergonomically P67 is better for handheld shooting. Just think of your favorite 35mm SLR, only much bigger. And no, no need for fancy grip. Not so much about RB67. Sure, you can add a grip and prism finder... which makes the setup even bulkier. For me, P67 is daily camera, and RB67 is something when I want to use tripod with.

I've had a couple of RB-67 ProS bodies for about a decade now. It's an excellent MF camera system for studio use, particularly portraiture. I chose this over the Hassleblad 500 series originally because 6x7 gave the largest practical film area. I use a Nikon CS9000 dedicated scanner now, but at the time I had just a Epson flatbed (which sucked.) The 500 shoots 6x6. So either you're happy with square aspect, or you're cropping down to effectively 645. I've been hunting for a digital back for the RB67 off and on.
