Design
The Mamiya RB67 Professional has a mechanical shutter and a custom Mamiya breech-lock bayonet lens mount. The system takes a wide range of interchangeable lenses and accessories. The mount is larger, so original and C series lenses need adapters.
Context
The RB67 Professional predates the electronic RZ67, which weighs 5.5 pounds and has auto exposure. Mamiya makes extensive lens and accessory support for both systems. The RB67 line was sold for over 15 years and held a strong place in professional workflows.
