Shooting with the Mamiya RB67 is the polar opposite to shooting with a modern DSLR. Speed is not this camera's forte. You'll need to slow down, carefully compose each and every shot, ensure the camera is set correctly, and then press that shutter release. How does the shot look? You won't know until the film comes back from the processor! It's also quite heavy, so get your tripod ready (or spend a few weeks at the gym). Everything here is manual. Focus? Manual. You'll also be cocking the shutter, resetting the mirror and advancing the film after each shot. Also, you'll want a light meter, as this camera does not have any built-in electronics whatsoever. However, if you're willing to take the extra time, this camera will deliver STUNNING results. Portraiture looks fabulous, as do landscapes. I spend a lot of time in the studio and appreciate the fact that my modern flash setup will work with the built-in sync port. It's so nice to slow down every once in a while. If you want a great shooting experience with outstanding results, consider this camera. Read full review

Film. It is amazing. I have been slowly shifting from digital to film because i can shoot a larger negative for much cheaper. The rb 67 pro s is a perfect medium format camera. It's all mechanical so you don't have to worry about any electronics breaking. It's multiple double exposure prevention is perfect for a newbie like me. The film is easy to load and the controls are very intuitive. The camera is solid and can handle a lot of abuse. Bellows focusing allows shooter to get very close to the subject. Positive .great build quality .great selection of lenses .easy to load film .great focusing capabilities .great negative size of 6cm by 7cm Negative .have to worry about light leaks .should get it cleaned and lubricated .
The RB67 Pro SD is a great professional camera that can hold it's own against even top of the line digital SLRs. I know, because I own and have used both. This camera, however, is definitely a "tripod camera" designed for use in making carefully posed and lighted studio shots or carefully COMposed landscape shots and close-ups. It's not the sort of thing to use when you need to keep your equipment really light for hand-held shots and candids. The complete camera with lens and film back weighs nearly 7 lb. The camera is a really big, bulky, tank of a camera compared to a lot of modern digital stuff. Add an additional lens, camera backs and tripod, and you've got more than 10-12 lb. to lug around - not the sort of thing you want to take backpacking or ski touring. However, with proper film development and scanning, the Mamiya will yield comparable or superior images to most modern, digital SLR equipment. The Mamiya lenses are excellent; the camera is ruggedly built and is designed for long use. I expect to get a lot of use out of it. The Mamiya RB67 is a COMPONENT system. If you need a camera like the RB67, make sure that you are bidding on a COMPLETE camera, including the following: lens, camera body, focusing screen, viewfinder, rotating film adaptor, and film holder or magazine. Without each of these 6 component parts in good working condition, a Mamiya RB67 Pro SD will be unusable as a camera, but it might make a pretty good (although expensive) doorstop. I bid on and won a Mamiya RB67 Pro SD that listed as a "camera" and "lens" but it proved to be a totally stripped down camera BODY and lens. The equipment, as purchased, was not usable as a complete camera until a film back, rotating film magazine adaptor, view finder and focusing screen were purchased separately. You can find this stuff on eBay or KEH. The additional component parts ended up bringing the entire purchase to nearly double my winning bid. The seller did not list the component parts separately in his ad. However, I suspected that there were missing components from looking at the picture that was shown, so I wasn't entirely surprised. As it turned out, the components that were sold at auction were in mint condition, and the components I added were in pretty much the same condition, so I now have a really nice, COMPLETE Mamiya RB67 SD in near mint to add to my collection of cameras. I'm new to bidding on eBay. If I had it to do over again, I would bid more money on a complete, mint or near-mint RB67 Pro SD and not waste time looking around for the additional, necessary component parts. Once you have purchased part of a camera, you pretty much have to find and purchase the rest, or you have wasted your money, and, alas, time spent is also money spent. I should add that this is not a camera for the casual purchaser. Unless you are into film development and (chemical) print making, you'll need a good retailer who can do this work for you or provide you with negatives and either JPEGs or (preferably) TIFs on disk so that you can get them onto your computer. Those of you who have gotten into photography with digital, should keep in mind that a film exposure is a PERMANENT exposure. You can't just erase it, and (these days) film exposures are considerably more expensive per shot than digital exposures. Keeping all of these things in mind, the RB67 Pro SD is one heck of a lot of fun to use.Read full review
I've always wanted to own a Mamiya since using them during my college days studying photography art. It still takes superior quality film images. I'm a professional book designer by trade and a visual artist during my spare time. I enjoy operating a camera in manual mode. I'm looking forward to produce high quality art with this amazing tool.

I cannot say enough good things about this piece. The price was excellent, the shipping was light speed, and the condition (apart from a couple very minor scuffs) was flawless. Almost looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. Leave it to photographers to perfectly capture the item. The well lit, and crystal clear pics showed me exactly what I wanted to see before making my offer. I am very happy and will definitely do business with again in the future
