arnis_vitols Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 <p>Hello,<br>I just ordered myself a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II and I'm also want two lenses for it. A 65mm and the 127mm K/L lens.<br>As far as i have read I haven't seen any pictures with the RZ67 having K/L lenses. I would like to know is it possible to use this combination and has someone here ever used it?<br>Do I need an adapter for K/L lenses? Do I lose infinity focus this way?<br>Thanks in advance.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonnalos Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 <p>K/L lenses are for the RB67, and I believe they can be used on the RZ67 without an adapter. There will be some loss of functionality like autoexposure, but they should be able to focus to infinity.</p> <p>However, if you're buying lenses I would recommend just getting RZ lenses instead of RB lenses. The 65mm L-A, 110mm f/2.8, and 140mm L-A Macro are all stellar lenses for the RZ67 and shouldn't be too expensive. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_watson1 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 <p>Have the manual? See pg40 of pt. 2<br> <a href="http://www.butkus.org/chinon/mamiya/mamiya_rz67_proii/mamiya_rz67_proii.htm">http://www.butkus.org/chinon/mamiya/mamiya_rz67_proii/mamiya_rz67_proii.htm</a><br> K/L lenses should come with the not totally necessary adapter ring.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondebanks Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 <p>You don't lose infinity focus - in fact the opposite: K/L lenses will focus well "past infinity", as the RZ flange distance is shorter than the RB's. Focus using the ground glass and this will take care of itself.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles_wass Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 <p>A chart showing compatibility of the various RB and RZ lenses and bodies, and all the other interchangeable components can be found at http://www.reznitsky.info/Mamiya/Comchart.htm.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_sawyer Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 <p>Just get the RZ lenses. Better overall choices in every way.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
