Medium Format SLR
The Mamiya RB Pro SD is the latest version of the
legendary RB mechanical 6x7cm, single lens reflex,
medium format camera. During the last two decades it
has earned its reputation as the "workhorse of the
pros". It offers full mechanical reliability. The
RB67 Pro SD also features multi-format versatility,
revolving back and bellows focusing.
For over two decades, the world-wide popularity of
the Mamiya RB Series has earned its reputation as
the "workhorse of the pros." The RB67 Pro SD is the
successor to the legendary RB67, Mamiya's original
revolving back 6x7cm ideal format SLR introduced in
1970. Today the RB67 Pro SD offers the same fully
mechanical reliability and simple operation of its
predecessors, and complete system compatibility with
all previous RB lenses, backs, finders and
accessories.
The all mechanical Mamiya RB67 Pro SD is the top
choice of commercial and portrait studios in the
world today because of its many unique features
including 6x7cm format negative size, over four and
a half times greater than 35mm, ideal for retouching
and reproduction. Its revolving back allows for
quick changes from horizontal or vertical
composition, without turning the entire camera. Fast
and precise bellows focusing with locking feature
permits fast and easy close-ups without special
attachments.
Specialized Mamiya lens designs including the RB
150mm f/4 Variable Soft Focus and 100-200mm f/5.2
Zoom make the reliable, all mechanical Mamiya RB67
Pro SD system ideal for heavy commercial and studio
use, as well as portraiture, glamour and wedding
photography.
The RB67 Pro SD features a larger lens mount
diameter to accommodate 75mm PC shift and 500mm APO
lenses. Design RB K/L Series ultra-high performance
lenses are optically identical to the RZ Series
lenses. In addition, the RB67 Pro SD is fully
compatible with all earlier RB Series lenses,
finders and accessories. The optional PD Metering
Prism Finder has TTL spot or average metering
patterns.
The Mamiya RB67 Pro SD's multi-format capability
offers an impressive choice of interchangeable film
magazines from 6x4.5cm to 6x7cm, economical 6x7cm
pre-loadable film inserts, Polaroid Instant Proofing
back, 70mm roll film magazine, motorized 6x7cm and
6x8cm 120/220 film magazines, and Quadra 72 sheet
film backs. Other system accessories include
interchangeable focusing screens, variable-diopter
eyepiece magnifier, and extension tubes, making the
RB67 Pro SD excellent for commercial copy work as
well. |
