  1. Just wondering in light of info I received if the back you tried is a 6x7 back? That would be helpful to know on this thread as it would indicate a malfunction if on a 67 back.
  2. Good news for me and the issue as it applies to me...I posed the question on the getdpi medium format forum and received the reply that for the 645 back and digital back adaptors it is supposed to act in this manner. I don't know how it applies to those above with issues but here is the link to the thread: Mamiya RZ pro IID framing masks in wrong orientation Cheers, Martin
  3. And so have I with an RZ proIID which I just bought...it looks very clean in all respects so I hope it is an easy fix under someone's instructive advice rather than a trip to a workshop...the blinds just come in H for V and vice versa...I am beginning to think it is as thirteen thumbs suggested...wrong reassembly. Any definitive answers would be appreciated.

  7. A bundle of high end medium format gear to sell which I gradually accumulated over the last few years but am now keeping just a small kit (yes, still medium format). Everything has been carefully looked after, is working perfectly and in mint minus (minus a few very slight marks here and there) to excellent plus condition unless noted otherwise. Prices are in USD but I will accept equivalent in GBP, Euro or AUD. Paypal is fine and a discount will be given for direct bank deposits (approx equivalent to their 2.9% fee). I will also auction these on ebay but at slightly increased prices to cover their fees. My feedback there is 100% positive over 15 years. Shipping is worldwide. No sales tax within the EU as I am currently in Greece. I usually overestimate the shipping costs to cover surprises and refund the difference to the buyer if shipping is less. It always works just fine and everybody is happy. Money refunded, except shipping costs, if not satisfied with condition and function of items as described. Please PM me for details, questions or photos of specific items which I will post on demand as there are many! Reasonable offers accepted. Thanks for your interest.

  8. <p>Seems to me that according to the numerous discussions abounding on the net, my recently-acquired Pentax 67ii may be under-gunned wrt the tripod mount setup. Is the 1/4" standard size thread adequate to hold the camera still (and I mean STILL) when mirror and shutter go "thwacklannnng" (luv the ring of that spring sound!). The Mammies and the Blads both have a 3/8" solution which I have always taken advantage of.<br> Does anybody know if there is a 3/8" fix? Can I get further by unscrewing the little screwed in panel surrounding the socket? Given its reputation and the fact that it already had several predecessors I figure it would have been easy to build the usual 3/8" for overkillers like me, and insert the 1/4" option for universality.<br> The reason I ask is that I have an old great 3 way foba head just itching to hold down a P67 and AFAIC tell it comes with a non removable 3/8" thread only, and I don't really want to add any extra interfaces (but I guess I may have to if neither end has a fix).<br> On the subject of heads, do you P67 users have any consensus on which others are adequately big and solid and up for solidifying the 67? <br> Many thanks for any helpful info.<br> Martin</p>

  11. <p>Hi Ray<br /> I get your point and I should have been more specific in the absence of pics, rather than group them all into waist level finders. I never thought about it since I never use the finder without the magnifier as I'm not that good that I can focus down to my waist, only compose. I do mean the rigid, adjustable 4x magnifying hood on the Hartblei site...not a folding type, but then, all these rely on using the correct diopter insert. My whole point was about having a big image in the finder, and this one could be just neat on the Contax, like it has been on my 'blad. I don't think that on the Contax, it will take up any more height in the bag than the prism, and only a little more than the wlf...but the image difference to me was a revelation.</p>
  12. I’m on a little mission…specifically, I’m trying to garner interest from Contax 645 users on a few medium format forum sites who like/prefer the waist level viewing experience. Before letting go of the Hasselblad 503 not so long ago in favour of the Contax (for about the 3rd time over the years) I had been using it with the Hartblei adjustable 52x52mm 4x waist level finder. It has such a nice way of drawing me into the image that once I mounted it, it stayed. Back to the Contax 645. I was fiddling with the Hartblei wlf on it recently and...what a difference! The extra magnification and resulting clarity compared to the native prism and waist finders is just immense. C645 users know that its viewfinder brightness and magnification are not it’s strongest suit, but this was like looking through the ‘Blad again. The Hartblei finder will need some reworking though, to get the distance from the focusing screen right as well as the step up shape to fit over the front display readout. Here’s where Hartblei may come to the party...I contacted them and received a couple of replies from their guy Vitaliy, stating that there is a realistic possibility that they may produce the viewfinder to fit the Contax 645. He is happy for me to open forum discussion and provided a link to post for anyone wishing to contact him about this idea. <a href="http://www.hartbleilens.com/shop_content.php?coID=7">http://www.hartbleilens.com/shop_content.php?coID=7</a> I would think that the Contax version would probably cost a little more than the $150-odd I paid for the ‘blad version, but heck, in the past the Contax wlf has sold for up to 4 times that. Nevertheless, I will be counting myself in on one of these. I have just one more thing to say… Go Contax, go!! There’s another breath of life in you yet… Cheers, Martin
  13. <p>Thanks for your support guys...I just landed a very nice one which came today...I also just got an adaptor from Kiev which feels a bit flimsy for such a boof of a lens because it has a separate lock collar...anyone have any pos or neg opinions about these..I hope it doesn't fall apart....</p>
