Just wanted to say thanks for the help. The camera is with Stanislav being repaired luckily he had ONE parts camera I guess I lucked out hopefully should have it back in a few weeks.

My RZ has developed a problem where it wont fully fire the shutter. The mirror will flip up and the shutter will shut allowing the aperture to get to its proper size but then it doesnt re open allowing the light to hit the film. I removed the front plastic cover from the mount and if I slightly apply pressure to the gear at the bottom responsible for moving the bayonets it will then finish the way its supposed too. Its also random sometimes it works perfectly 10 times sometimes I cant get it to fire properly 10 times. Do the gears need to be lubed or is there a spring that needs to be tightened. I tested it with two different lenses to make sure it wasnt the lens. Not sure if there if anyone else has had this issue but I thought Id ask. I can provide a video if it is helpful.

<p>thanks ill give it a try. i just really started to shoot film so i havent shot on that many different types. wanted to get my process down first so I dont ruin a roll i really liked. </p>

Hi all, I have an RZ 67 pro II and was wondering if there was anywhere to get parts. The ribbon cable that runs out to the lens mount is broken. I only have an RB lens at the moment so it really doesn't matter but I'd like to fix it if I can. I tried the RZ pro but those body's have a different cable so then I tryed MAC group but apparently they don't work with mamiya anymore so now I'm stuck. I just keep waiting for a broken body to come up on eBay but no luck so far.Any suggestions would be helpful. I know there's a few threads already about this but they are old and the info is outdated, also I'm in America if it makes a difference.

I think my problem came from running the water out of the tap after it was fixed and not checking to make sure it was close enough to the right temp. I just sort of know where about my knobs need to be to get a close temp but I think someone ran our dish washer which used up the hot water. I will get some jugs though that's a good idea.

<p>Thanks I will keep that in mind when I do another roll tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. I was going to do both rolls tonight but now im glad I didnt.</p>

<p>this is a picture of it close up.</p>

<p>I shot this on my Mamiya rz67 with the Sekor c 180mm lens tody and I just started to scan the roll and I am getting a lot of this shape grain. I dont mind grain but this is much larger than what id like. It was quite bright and I was using tri-x 400. Is it my agitation or something else do you think.</p>

<p>I figured it out. If anyone needs help just leave a comment and I can save you some prying.</p>

<p>I got a broken rz pro 2 for really cheap and I know that the problem is that a cable has broken inside. I have a donor camera that has way more problems to steal one from but I cant seem to figure out how to get the side cover off to get to the end of the cable. Its the side that has the flash on it and I dont see any videos or anything of anyone taking that side cover off online. If anyone could help out that would be great.</p>

<p>Hi I am trying to attach a lens to my RZ but I cant get the mirror to come down. The cocking lever will move a little and the rear flap will start to flip down but then they just stop and the lever wont move any farther.</p> <h1> </h1>

I'm in Massachusetts. Thanks

<p>When all goes well though the pictures look amazing.</p><div></div>

<p>I had a few more rolls developed with mixed results. About half the roll is useless each time which isnt great but when it works man does it take some great shots.</p> <p>Whats the word on Polaroid backs for the 1000f is there a specific kind that works better?</p> <p>thanks for asking around Id like to get this thing working properly.</p><div></div>

<p>how much does the NC-2 Prism help with focusing? I didnt seem to have much issue with it although I am used to focusing on ground glass with a loop in the middle of the day when I shoot wet plate so compared to that it didnt seem that bad. </p>
