Special Features of the Mamiya
RZ67
The
following exemplify how the outstanding features of the
RB67
have
been
further refined in the Mamiya
RZ67,
resulting in un-
precedented quality and performance.
1. Ultra Performance Lenses
Without changing the outer diameter of the lens mount on the camera
body, the inner diameter of the mount on the RZ67 has been increased by
7mm (from 54mm on the RB to
flange back (distance of the lens mount to film plane) has been reduced
by the same amount (from 111 mm on the RB to
The increase in
distance of the flange back have made it possible to design a new series
of ultra performance lenses designed exclusively
offering performance previously believed unattainable. It is now also possible to design new, specialized optics, such as shift or high speed
lenses.
Moreover, any RB lenses already in the possession of the photographer can be used on the RZ67 without an adapter or loss in performance.

With Winder RZ attached to the camera body, a gentle touch of the
electromagnetic release makes it possible to effortlessly take consecutive photographs.

The mirror-up mechanism is now automatically engaged as soon as a
cable release is attached to the Mirror-up Socket.
3. Improved Performance
Shutter speed accuracy and durability have been significantly enhanced by utilizing an electromagnetic release and Mamiya’s own Moving Coil system in conjunction with the Seiko
tionally, the longest fixed shutter speed has been increased to 8 seconds,
making the camera more flexible than ever.
When the camera is not prepared for use, the shutter release automatically locks and awaming lamp illuminates in the viewfinder, informing the
photographer precisely what needs to be done, a red lamp indicating that
the Dark Slide must be removed from the Film Holder, and an orange
lamp reminding the photographer to advance the Cocking Lever.
When using a Mamiyalite electronic flash, a green LED illuminates in
the viewfinder when the unit is fully charged and ready to fire.
For viewfinders with built-in exposure meters, the film speed, shutter
speed, and aperture information is electronically transmitted to the exposure meter.
With a Mamiyalite
and film speed information is automatically and electronically relayed to
the flash unit, controlling its light output.
By attaching Winder RZ and Receiver MZ to the RZ67, remote control
of the camera is possible with Transmitter MZ, thereby immensely increasing the applications of the camera.

The Ideal Format
The 6 x 7cm format not only offers an area approximately 4.5 x greater
than the 35mm negative size, but it enlarges to standard sizes, such as 8
x
1 0", with virtually no cropping, making it possible to utilize the full nega-
tive area. Ideally suited for publication and standard print sizes, the 6
7cm format makes the ideal choice for professional photographers.

Peerless Film Flatness
After prolonged testing and research, Mamiya has developed Film
Holders which solve the problem of film curl by retaining the film perfectly
flat across the entire film plane. Thus, the full potential of Mamiya-Sekor
ultra performance lenses and the large negative size are realized.
In addition to unparalleled film flatness, the Roll Film Holders also incorporate a double exposure prevention mechanism. with multiple exposure provision as well.
Lens Shutter Design
Use of a lens shutter makes it possible to synchronize electronic flash
at all shutter speeds, not only eliminating the problem of ghost images
(secondary images recorded by available light) occasionally encountered with focal plane shutters, but also enabling the photographer to
balance flash illumination with available light.
Mirror-up Photography
For occasions when the camera is mounted on a tripod, both the
and RZ67 allow the photographer to raise the mirror well before releasing
the shutter. Since

Additional Features
The Film Holder can not be removed from the camera back unless the
Dark Slide is first inserted into the holder, thereby protecting the film from
accidental exposure to light. Additionally, after the holder is removed, the
Dark Slide remains locked to the holder, again guarding the film from
light.

Care of the Camera
When not used for a long period of time, remove the battery and any
film from the camera. Do not store the camera at temperatures exceeding
40°C or below -10°C. Also avoid storing the camera in a damp or salty
area.
As your camera is a precision instrument, avoid exposing it to severe
vibrations or shocks. When handholding your camera always use a neck
strap and exercise extreme caution when removing a lens or Film Holder.
Prolonged disuse does not lengthen camera life, but shortens it. Thus,
when storing a camera for a long time, periodically remove the camera
and release the shutter several times to keep the camera in good condition.
Cleaning
Do not touch the lens or mirror surfaces. If a lens needs cleaning, use a
blower or lens tissue to remove dust particles. Never use anything other
than a blower for the mirror, as its surface should never be touched.
Periodic Check
Periodically check the camera to make sure it is in working order. This
is especially important before beginning a photographic session or assignment. Check the battery, flash synchronization, mirror and shutter
operation, diaphragm automation, and film advance. Also check any ac-
cessories you plan to use.
For a general overhaul, cleaning, or minor repair, take the camera to
your nearest authorized Mamiya
shop for advice.
