<p>I also have a ZD back and have downloaded this software.<br>

I just want to add that it works on both my Intel iMac 24 and my older Powerbook G4 1.67.<br>

Mamiya says it will not work on Tiger, but it does just perfectly.</p>

<p>Cheers,<br>

You are welcome. I drilled down from the Mamiya "user forum" archives; www.mamiya.com

Cheers,

Eli,

I just bought a used 120 back for my Mamiya RZ67 and the seals also need to be replaced. I did a little research and found this kit on eBay; $10<BR><BR>

I had found many references to it, and this seller from this forum, so I went ahead and got it; he also has a smaller kit that might be better for you, I have several backs I will service with this kit.

Johnny

Your answer is on page 4 of the "RB67 6x7 Power Drive Film Magazine (Current)" PDF at the above link.

For me too, AMD 3700+ 64bit 2.4ghz with 4gb ram on Windows XP Professional x64. Latley I have been running Capture Windows Vista x64, and it is much faster, probably what Nikon intended. I found it now works great with Photoshop CS2 and CS3, before I just stuck to CS2 and the latest Camera Raw for all my work; only shoot raw.

Now I have discovered the Nikon Capture really is better than Photoshop at several RAW processing, like dynamic lighting, sharpening and noise control. After I tweak these, I open in CS2/CS3 in 16bit and go from there.

The thing I like about Capture NX is its ability to work with JPG in ways it does with RAW files, this will come in handy with my new Mamiya RZ67 and Epson 4990.

Viki,

I went the Alien Bees route. I purchased two of these www.alienbees.com/b800.html - one large softbox, one shoot through umbrella and two large light stands. To me, this was the best bang for the buck, quality set. I use these several times a week, without a problem for two years now.

Hope this helps,

Johnny

Well, thank you all for your input. I went ahead and purchased a rufurbished 4990 directly from Epson for $279.00. Now I can scan and still save for dedicated MF scanner, if needed.

I know, your saying "refurbished, oh boy", but I did this with my Epson 1280 a year ago without a hitch, and is still covered by Epson's warranty.

This really is MF experiment for my own benefit, and these scans and prints are only for honing my MF technique, not for mounting or sale.

I have spent too much of my life trying to acheive allusive perfection chasing technology, now I just here to have fun.

Cheers,

Johnny

Hello,

I just bought a RZ67 today and will be scanning my own film (6x7). This is all

for the purpose of teaching myself MF, I am coming from digital (Nikon D2X).

I have been and will be printing my own work on an Epson 1280 at sizes up to

13x19. I like the prints I been producing, and am curious if an Epson 4990 is

adequate to produce the same results I have been getting.

I am aware of the debate about the 4990 and the V700, I really would like to

here from people who use the 4990 and print in a similar setup.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

John
