Cable Release for Mamiya RB67 Pro-S

[andrew_buckley1]

Just bought myself a second-hand RB67 Pro-S and was wanting to know

what sort of remote cable I would need for shutter release and mirror

lock-up. Is there a universal cable release that will fit this or

will I need a bespoke Mamiya product. I'm a UK resident, so if

anyone has ideas of stockists and approx prices, preferably second-

hand, I would appreciate it.

 

Many thanks in advance

Andrew

Andrew- It's a standard sized screw socket. And one release should fit both. At least

that's how mine works.

I have an RZ67 and I used the mamiya one until it broke about 2 months after I got it. Now I

just have two short cable releases that I picked up for a few dollars and just put the mirror

up on the body first and then fire the lens (on the RZ the lens wont depress until the Mirror is

up). It will be cheaper than the two cable mamiya

Andrew, I have the same camera (RB67 PRO-S) as you and use a standard Nikon cable release with mine.

It's worth finding the double-cabled type if you can, because it simplifies the process when you're doing multiple shots with the mirror locked up. One push on the button locks the mirror, while the second trips the shutter.

 

Oddly, I never had the actual Mamiya part. I found a used Pentax dual cable device in a used photo gear shop in Tokyo. One cable was a bit shorter than the other, which made the whole thing a bit tidier than two seperate releases. I sold it on e-bay a while back, having gotten rid of my RB, but I wouldn't be surprised if they turn up from time to time.

Thanks all, this is good news as Jessops were quoting me GBP 90 fro the Mamiya version, brand new.

 

Best Wishes
