Hello,

I've been using my Mamiya RZ kit with the Leaf Aptus 75 with great results. The whole system works seamlessly.

As I have the Mamiya RZ 37mm fisheye lens having it attached to the T/S adapter you wont be able to focus to infinity.

The only lenses which will do this is the Mamiya RZ 75mm and 180mm short barrel lenses.

Cheers

Simon

Hi Fabrizio,

I shoot both film and digital (Mamiya DM22/Leaf Aptus-II 5) with RZ67 Pro IID. I love the setup and as Simon said, only 75mm SB and 180mm SB can be used with TS adapter and focus to infinity! On the other hand, you should consider that with 1.3 crop back like P40+, your viewfinder would be even smaller than 1.1 crop back like P45+! And also, your lenses would be longer!

Thank a lot to everybody!
Before digital I worked only with RZ..
PhaseOne/Mamiya 645 Df is a good camera, but RZ remain one of my favorite camera...
I'd like after 6 year stop try to use it again.
Thank for the advice.
For Simon:
has 37 mm  many distortion? Probally is possible make a profile correction with Capture One,,,

For Aryan, Thank a lot for your advice, I know that P40 has a big crop... I upgrade from P25, but probally I will change with P65 if I will find an opportunity.

All my best.
Fabrizio.
Sorry for my english, I didn't use google translate, and probably is better... ;)
