Title: ZD and Large format adapter
Post by: klane on March 27, 2008, 06:38:58 pm

I was just going to see if anyone knows anythin about mamiya following through with an adapter for the ZD on a LF camera.  Any info is appreciated.

It as well as the RB adapter had been promised since the very beginning, but even the RB adapter has only just been announced. It almost looks to me as though the team is slowly working through all the adapters and accessories one by one. I would imagine that the LF adapter would be quite similar to the RB adapter. I certainly hope that they produce one soon.

I also hope that they don't waste time and make the very first 4x5 adapter include a multistitch shifting mechanism as well, don't you think?

I asked this question of Mamiya a few weeks back and received the following reply-


We are planning on something in the near future...but nothing available as of yet...no word on when at the moment.  But there are others trying to do it now as well...

Unfortunately, if I'm not mistaken, they are referring to support for the ZD integrated camera, not the digital back.
