Considerably larger than a standard 35mm frame, it captures an incredible amount of detail and gives photographs a sense of depth and presence that's difficult not to appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the RZ67 isn't just about the size of the negative. It's about the experience of using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou compose through a large waist-level viewfinder, looking down into the camera rather than holding it up to your eye. Focusing is handled through a bellows system, allowing you to make precise adjustments with a satisfying, hands-on feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of its cleverest features is the rotating film back. Instead of turning the entire camera sideways to photograph a portrait, you simply rotate the back between horizontal and vertical compositions. It's a wonderfully practical detail, especially when working on a tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RZ67 Professional II also belongs to a modular camera system, with interchangeable lenses, film backs and viewfinders that allow photographers to build a setup around the way they like to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a substantial camera, and that's part of its character. This isn't something you throw into a small bag for a quick snapshot. It's a camera for taking your time, considering the light and enjoying every frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor portrait photographers, studio shooters and anyone curious about the beauty of medium format film, the Mamiya RZ67 Professional II remains a particularly special camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortrait photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudio photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFashion and editorial work\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine art photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill life and product photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographers exploring medium format film\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarefully composed, tripod-based photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mamiya RZ67 Professional II offers a very different experience from a smaller 35mm camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts large 6 × 7cm negatives give you plenty of detail to work with, whether you're making prints or having your film scanned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waist-level viewfinder encourages a slower, more deliberate way of composing, while the bellows focusing system gives you precise manual control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a standard 6 × 7 120 film back, you'll get approximately 10 photographs from a roll of film.
