mamiya rb67

[glynallinson]

yesterday I picked up a new toy, a Mamiya RB67 pro SD. I think I got a good deal got the body, a 90mm and 180mm C lenses and a 120 film back with WLF, for £280
only the 90mm lens has some fungus but i can live with that.
got my pan f loaded now, waiting for some victims.

Hi Glyn - sounds like a good deal. I bought one a few months ago as I use a Mamiya C330s and wanted a 6x7. I shopped around and waited for ages before buying one in mint condition. Great cameras and lenses, all mechanical, but a bit heavy for landscape I find. I want to use mine for portraits eventually.

well done. what a great camera you have there .try and get a hand grip for it ,it makes it easer to use hand held ..good luck with your new toy....

Sounds like a great deal indeed, I would be inclined to get the fungus cleaned try http://newtonellis.co.ukfor professional cleaning at a good price, I wouldn't leave it as it will only get worse

Congratulations on your purchase. I've had an RB for years, and the extras have steadily increased in number.

Well I finally ran through a roll of 120, I'm liking this camera, heres a set of my test shots

Ha Ha- what a great test subject; black dog and white dog together, and detail in both of their coats (I use a black and white cat myself).
What are developing your PanF in??

[glynallinson]

Developer ID-11, Ilfostop & Rapid fixer. I did use their wetting agent as well. (sound like a Ilford fanboy)
I changed out the Pan F for HP5 (in a darkbag)
I'll probably test the Pan F with strobes, or 'when' we get some proper sunshine.

I hope you had fun using it, when firing the shutter its not a little click with the rb its a great big Ker chunk ,,great pictures lets see more ....

that clunk makes my poor P30 sound inferior, I did notice that I do have to think before I press the shutter & I do like that. (I'm lazy/wasteful with 35mm)
