Congratulations on your wise decision to purchase |
|||
|
the Mamiya RB 67 Professional SD (Pro-SD) |
|||
|
The RB67 Pro-SD is the latest addition to the long-selling RB67 Series |
|||
|
which was first released in 1970. Due to its innovative 6x7cm revolving back |
|||
|
format, the RB67 has been highly recognized throughout the world as the |
|||
|
genesis of the medium format cameras. |
|||
|
Specifically, the camera features an expanded interval lens mount diameter |
|||
|
(from 54mm to 61mm, i.e. the same as that of the RZ67), thereby enabling |
|||
|
a wider variety of new, high performance lenses, such as the APO series |
|||
|
to be used. The newly developed extra bright, ultra low dispersion glass |
|||
|
of the APO series lenses and shift lens have gone a long way to improving |
|||
|
system |
configuration. |
||
|
With |
a wide spectrum of accessories, photographic excellence is assured |
||
|
in a multitude of applications from commercial to portraiture. |
|||
|
Perusing this manual before attempting to use the Pro-SD will minimize the |
|||
|
Ipossibility of malfunctions. |
