    Thanks for doing this series on the RZ67 Pro II

      I'm not completely done with the videos. I moved to Japan. I still need to do the Polaroid and the digital back and other options.

      +Julio Ryuuzaki How do you like living in Japan?

      I completely love it, everything is so magical and is a country that has access to everything, is an adventure in a different world everyday.

    One quick question regarding the camera. If there is no film in the back and I put the camera on M mode (Multiple exposures) I can advance the lever and shoot as many times as I want. But, If I put the camera in the normal shooting mode (again, no film in the back) the lever will advance but I won't be able to click "and take the picture". Is this a safety feature? Is it normal?
    Thanks for your videos by the way. You are answering a lot of questions.
    Cheers

      loading12342000 thank you so much for sending me your question. You are completely right! M mode basically tells the camera to ignore the checking of film advance on the back. You need to use M mode for Polaroids and Digital back so when you crank the lever it just winds the lens trigger and the mirror and ignores the back. I know how you feel, when I first got mine too I was so afraid to make a mistake. And probably it will happen. Film is like that. Loading, unloading, maybe even the lab makes mistakes and blame on the photographer (I’ve got that a few times) so I’ve learn to take few frames before moving on, etc. Get some cheap expired film and make some load tests just to get comfortable. Is really not difficult but you might want to have a practice roll just for getting used to the camera functions. Hope my answer helps you start shooing with ease now.

      @@RyuuzakiJulio Thank you for your quick response. TBH I was afraid I bought a faulty camera but then I went outside and took some pictures and the film advanced without any problems. The main Idea was that I didn't expect such a high level of fail-safe features on a rather old camera.
      Btw, I used to shoot 35 mm film back in the days but... Mamiya is something else, it is heavenly.
      Thanks again. I'm cooled down now knowing that the camera is not faulty but only smart...
      Cheers

      loading12342000 I get what you mean. It really gives you another level of standard. After shooting it the first time, I couldn’t look at my Nikon again the same way, a few weeks later I couldn’t stand to not having the RZ and I sold all my Nikon gear as it was in the carryon bag and went for the RZ full time.

    what is the focal length of your wide lens? Thanks for making these videos!

    The RZ is my favorite camera

    @mixc8 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You can also get the RZ67 Pro IID which is the digital version

    • @RyuuzakiJulio
      @RyuuzakiJulio  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not really. Even with the IID you need an adaptor. It doesn't have autofocus or light meter or knows what lens you have. So you can use the Pro II with a Digital Back without any inconvenience. It will just save you 1 cable from the lens to the back. But the price it's 2000 dlls for the D instead of 400 dlls for the Pro II

    • @mixc8
      @mixc8 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Julio Ryuuzaki Wow I didn't know that about the IID, are you saying you need a adapter if you want to use other than a Mamiya digital back or you need an adapter period? And you correct I am here in the states and an adapter can run you anywhere from $800 USD on up. Now I do have the RZ67 Pro II and love it, but I was thinking about also picking up the IID but now I am having 2nd thoughts :)

    • @RyuuzakiJulio
      @RyuuzakiJulio  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +mixc8 ALL the digital backs have plugs for different types of cameras, there is the V type for old Hasselblads, (CM500 and so on) there is the H type for new hasseldblads (H1, H2, H3D), there is the M type for Mamiya, but this is for Mamiya 645, M645, Phase One. and there is one or two more types, but they are small medium formats.
      For the RZ67 Pro II and RZ Pro IID you need an adapter plate that YES it goes for around 800-900 dlls.
      I am using the RZ Pro IID adapter plate on my RZ67 Pro II, and the only issue I have is that I need a small cable from the lens to the back. The Pro IID will still need the same 800-900 dlls and will save you from using that cable.

    Do you know what the "T" and "N" switch is for on the lens?

    • @RyuuzakiJulio
      @RyuuzakiJulio  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Steven Lawrence Yes I did a video about that switch. Is for timed and normal exposure.

      Julio Ryuuzaki thanks for such a quick reply! Much appreciated 😊

    50mm but it's not the Expensive version. My work is not that crazy picky for the unnoticeable edge distortions.

    • @RyuuzakiJulio
      @RyuuzakiJulio  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not yet. I live in Japan now. When I made this video I was still in California.

      so you are American? no wonder you have that accent.. by the way I studied at Brooks Institute (now forever closed) in California

    • @RyuuzakiJulio
      @RyuuzakiJulio  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Steven Yang I'm actually Mexican but I also speak Japanese so my accent is all messed up.
