Introduced in 1970, The RB67 Professional is a 6x7 medium format SLR camera that creates stunning portraits and breathtaking close-up photography.
It uses uncompromising professional lenses to produce large detail-rich transparencies and negatives that deliver clarity and punch unparalleled in smaller format systems. A user-friendly blend of mechanical dependability and electronic convenience, the RZ67's robust construction and surprising portability let you shoot with ease both in the studio and on location.
Originally released in 1982 the RZ67 has proven a landmark camera becoming widely respected among pros. Mamiya introduced a successor in 1995, the RZ67 Pro II featuring half-stop shutter speeds and a dedicated fine focus control but also requiring new winders and AE Finders.
