Fs - mamiya rz67 pro ii with 50mm wide angle lens
ThePrettyDamned
Frets: 7484
Hi, I'm selling one of my mamiya rz's.
These are the doggies danglies. Absolutely pro quality solid build with heavy use studio and outdoor photography in mind. This one is well used but well looked after and works perfectly bar one small flaw (that nobody uses anyway...). This includes all electronics, communication to the back, mirror/shutter/film advance lever, bellows and rails (absolutely smooth and straight) and it is completely light tight.
The back is the newest pro ii version with light seals that don't degrade and it's fully tested and still light tight. Rotates and locks into place perfectly and maintains perfect electrical connection (some I've tried in stores don't and need a good contact clean!).
The hood is interchangeable, as is the focusing screen. Comes with standard screen and hood - the screen is in mint condition, and I recently cleaned it so it's super clear. As the back is rotated, the orientation is indicated in the screen and this works flawlessly. No more accidents!
Multiple exposure prevention works perfectly (you can do multiple exposure if you want)... Basically, everything on the camera and lens, from hot shoe to cable release, works perfectly and it is fully tested. The shutter is electronic (unlike rb67) and extremely accurate - allowing flash sync to 1/400th. It also works perfectly with rb67 lenses, although they will need servicing of the mechanical shutter prior to use.
The only niggles are a small crack on the base of the hood that doesn't affect performance and the fine focusing knob has threaded (a common fault). I never use this anyway - it's a waste (previous rb67 and rz67 models didn't have it and no one misses it!). I was quoted between £100-£150 to have it repaired by an authorised London repair centre a few months back, but decided I didn't need it. This means you get the camera cheaper, too
The 50mm 4.5 sekor z lens is in amazing condition given its use. No fungus, only minor rub/scratches on the front element that won't affect performance. The letters are rubbed a bit, and the filter ring has a minor dent on it but mounting filters is still easily possible (see picture). Equivalent of a 24mm ish lens on full frame, so wide, but the bellows allow focusing beyond 1:1 macro. Shite for portrait but ace for wide and macro, so quite versatile and takes stunning photos. You can get the absolutely beautiful 90,110 or 180mm lenses to do your portrait work for less than £200 and you'd have a wonderful kit.
As you can probably tell, I love these and they are my favourite camera of all time. However, I am selling one as I want to buy an amp and this makes a rather nice trade in (and I don't forsee them ever breaking so I don't need a spare!). I'm after a fast sale so I'm asking for £370 PayPal gift. This is on ebay, too, just for disclosure, albeit more expensive. Offers will be considered!
If you don't want to use PayPal gift, no dramas,it'll just cost a few bob more. I'm happy to post, insured and tracked, and I'm ace at excessive super safe packaging.
Pictures will be coming shortly. Apologies for overly long description!
Also, the back comes loaded with a fresh roll of velvia 50 rvp and I'll throw in a couple of spare rolls from the freezer. I'm nice like that

That would be much appreciated!
It's happening - sort of. Film is far from dead, although I fear slide is going. Black and white lives strong for sure, and digital emulation still doesn't cut it (yet) so it'll stick. I got my Rolleiflex several years ago for fifty quid. I could get about five times that now
Fancy a mamiya?
I sold my m3, I loved it's simplicity but 35mm just doesn't hold a candle to medium format, regardless of lens sharpness.
Of course, I'd love to try large format but the rollei is so small and takes such beautiful shots...
