Title: RZ67ProII Prism ISO ???
Post by: Frank Doorhof on September 17, 2008, 10:33:40 am

Probarbly a stupid question but I don't have a manual with my Prism.
I own the RZ67ProII and the Prism AE for that camera.
However I can't seem to figure out how to set the ISO for the film/back used.

Probarbly something with a combination of settings because there is no ISO setting on the Prism itself as I can see.

The filmback has the ISO setting wheel for the RZ. I don't know how the camera knows the ISO if it's a digital back.

Frank,

Take a look at this link to Mamiya's web site:

[a href=\"http://www.mamiya.com/customer-service-instruction-manuals.html]http://www.mamiya.com/customer-service-ins...on-manuals.html[/url]

You can download a manual from their site.  Hope this is what you are looking for.

Hummm that's the problem indeed

Well I can always set -2 or -3 for the higher ISO's.

Well I checked.
The film magazine also doesn't have an ISO setting.

if it is indeed an rz67 back and not an older rb back w/ adapter   there should be a dial on the top left edge of the back that sits flush against the body.....see that little hump in the photo below?

Got it.
I never used the filmback with the prism so also never looked.
The studio was dark when I checked this afternoon, but I got the bump with the ISO settings, thanks so much.

And yes I feel stupid now

I've used an RZ pro II w/AE prism for 8 yrs or so - & it's a great viewfinder.
The few times I've ever bothered to try out it's metering capabilities (totally out of boredom I'm afraid), it's yielded laughable results, tbh.
