The reason for the RB in it’s name sake refers to it’s Rotating Back that means the camera stays upright at all times and you rotate the back of the camera containing the film into either the landscape or portrait orientation. These separate items were focusing screens that could be swapped out, several view finders, lenses and film backs could all be interchanged.Īlthough quite heavy, roughly 2 kg for just the body alone it made working without a tripod difficult and so it was mainly used in studio and was the “go to” camera in the 70’s because of all the attachments it could take.

It certainly makes a presents among others, I remember being in a room full of photographers at an Orchid show and when I released the mirror everyone turned to see where that sound came from. Everything is loud with this particular camera, when the mirror is swung up it slaps the top of the camera with a loud ‘Clunk’ and the ratcheting of the mirror return and lens cocking is all loud. It’s a beast of a camera, it’s not my largest but it’s one of the heaviest that’s for sure! Even thought it’s heavy it’s one of my most favorite cameras to work with. This camera is the Mamiya RB67 Professional-S, I purchased this particular camera in New York city at B&H Photo after careful consideration and has proven invaluable, it’s my ‘go to’ camera when time is on my side and I’m wanting to shoot film.
