Just an update to say that I can confirm that the Mayaya 180mm Sekor C does fit straight on the RZ body and works just fine.

Thanks everyone
Stephen

Just don't forget to extend the bellows some 6 mm to focus to infinity.

Cheers

A little off topic in my own post but I'm curious as I usually focus with the distance scale ensuring my closest and furthest points of focus are within range. What circumstances would you choose to use focusing at infinity?

Not many, but sometimes you may need it, for instance, when everything in the frame is beyond 50 m.

I assume the the focus scale will be poportionally inaccurate at all settings with the RB lens fitted, whether it will make a practical difference is another matter.
