I just purchased a Mamiya RB67 yesterday and I'm still trying to figure it out. This video helped a lot! Thank you.

The first video I watched when I bought my RB67 many years ago. Helped me out so much.

I'm older. I used this camera back in photography school for portraiture. I did shoot flash bulbs in that day, but not with this camera. I used to use multiple BC-7 flashguns I think they were called. I used the #3 bulb mostly. We were always told to set our camera's shutter speed at 1/30 sec on M sych to get the full impact of the bulb, because the bulbs flash duration was slower than electronic flash. My Nikkormat FTN had both M, FP for focal plane bulbs which were faster than the other bulbs and also X for electronic flash. So far this is the best demonstration I have ever seen on the Mamiya RB67.

I love this presentation that is so honest and detailed. In my childhood I was exposed to professional photographers who shot with Mamiya, Rolleiflex and Hasselbald. I was invited to join them in the black chamber and learnt a lot about photography. Contrary to the current trend to make believe that all is super-simple and can be controlled, these people taught me that photography is a real craftmanship. It requires an infinite amount of patience and trial-and-error. Failure then is implicit.

Just been given an rb67 to play with for a couple of months. Awesome breakdown instructions. Where would we be without people like you. Thank you kindly

Fantastic video even 7 years later! I'm getting this today and this was AMAZING. Great!!

The lens and shutter sync trick was a lifesaver for me.

Many thanks for posting these videos. I just bought an RB67 today, and this was very helpful as a 'crash course' in getting to know the camera.

This is the most informative video I've seen about the Mamiya RB67. Thank you!

[petermarshall]

Thank you for your help!
I inherited a Mamiya RB67 and ordered 3 rolls of film and want to try it out, but needed these videos first. Thanks!

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! What an excellent instructional video.

I'm new to the Mamiya System and don't have anyone to show me how to use it. I can (and have) read the instructions, but there is no way to actually envision how all these processes work together and certainly not all the things i saw you do here.

Thank you!!!

2021 here and still very helpful! Thank you.

Great demo! Really thanks a lot. Without your demonstration i will have a very hard time to find out how my RB67 is going to "fulling working". Thanks again!

[RexusKing]

My RB67 just came in the mail, your video is great for all the functions I needed to check, thanks!
