<p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>So I have a question...Lets assume I take a photo but its underexposed. Now lets say my only option is to raise the iso to get the proper exposure. Would my image quality be better if I take the underexposed image and increase the exposure or is that the same effect as just raising the ISO in camera?</p>

<p>Well....after searching the internet I learned that I'm an idiot. I also learned manyyyyyy tips and tricks for using this camera. Sorry for the post. </p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>As the title says, I cannot fully press the shutter release button to take a picture unless my pro sd back is set to multiple exposure mode (the red dot is visible). There is film in the back so I don't know why I would have to keep switching back and forth between multi and regular exposure. Advice would be greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>So I recently purchased a rb67 kit and joined Photo.net not too long ago (SUP EVERYONE)! I noticed that sometimes I will cock my shutter and then the lever will lock but I will not be able to fully push the shutter button ( I cant take a picture ). I seen that a lot of people have had this problem and some even went as far as to dissemble their camera and send it to repair shops etc. Fortunately for me I was able to "Solve" the problem by just trying a bunch of different things...<br /><br />So For some reason I cannot release the shutter if my Pro SD back is not switched onto multiple exposure mode. To take my photo I have to turn multiple exposure on, advance film cock shutter, take picture and then repeat. If someone could elaborate on this that would be great , because I don't think I had this problem on my first roll. <br /><br />I was also able to release a locked shutter lever by taking off the back and then pressing the shutter button. </p> <p>Some insight from a pro would be great...</p>

<p>HAHA,</p> <p>Well said. I will get a meter. I was kind of assuming that I would be able to take a few test shots on my d600 and get a 90-95% perfect exposure that way...its more work but I figure it would work...But I am excited to get into Medium format. I've even contemplated getting rid of some of my digital accessories to finance some more for my RB67. </p> <p>We will see how the first roll or so treats me. Thank you kindly. </p>

<p>Hey C. Watson,</p> <p>A few questions for you...<br> I don't really plan on buying a light meter any time soon. I know I will have to suck it up and will probably do that in a few months though. That being said...I'm still going to use my camera as a meter...I'm thinking that center weighted meter with my camera focused directly on my most important spot (eg, right side of face) will result in a fairly good metering don't you think?</p> <p>Also, Do darkslides typically come with the camera back or not really? Because if not then I will not have one. Its possible to just live without it if you only plan on using one back though right?</p>

<p>Hey Etienne,</p> <p>I believe the mamiya does not come with a meter, the finder might but I planned on using my d600 as a meter anyway. =)</p> <p>I was mostly concerned with if the items I purchased were going to be enough to allow me to start shooting and judging by the sounds of it they may be. Now I just have to figure out a convenient place to have film developed...</p>

<p>Ok well it sounds like I shouldddddd be able to get started as soon as it arrives then...Awesome!</p> <p>Ill be sure to post some pictures and let everyone know my progress and experience with the camera. Thanks a lot fellows. See you in about a week!</p>

<p>Hey John,</p> <p>Sorry for the confusion I don't know why I made such a poor post..<br /><br />I purchased:</p> <ul> <li>The RB67 PRO-S Body</li> <li>127mm 3.8</li> <li>Pro-SD BACK</li> <li>Some Kodak 120 160iso Film</li> <li>Mamiya RB Prism Finder</li> </ul> <p>My camera does not come with the waist level view finder. Also, I already own a tripod. So after saying all that, you recommend I purchase a grip?</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I did a search and BELIEVE I am not asking an already answered question...if I am I apologize...</p> <p>Anyway,</p> <p>I am realllllly excited to start shooting medium format and so I just purchased:</p> <ul> <li>Mamiya Rb67 Pro S</li> <li>Mamiya RB Pro-SD </li> <li>RB Prism Hood</li> <li>Film</li> </ul> <p>I am wondering if I will be able to begin shooting with just these items? And yes, I purchased these items with little research because I'm a little dummy =).<br /><br />If somebody could give me some insight into this topic as well as potentially recommending other pick ups then that would be great. I know I probably need a lens strap. </p>
