yair, are there any issues with this setup? can you out shoot the back? does it work with phase well (i guess pss will be able to tell me that.).
the idea of having a leaf shutter, slow working but deliberate camera like the rz, then being able to use the afd with fast f1.9 lenses for different shooting is quite appealing. i dont really like the feel of the afd, but the options may out weigh it.

you canot outshoot the back....the phase backs do not require a cable....the adapterplate i have is a phase item....there is a lot of confusion out there about this....mamiya makes one as well, but they had not tested it with phase backs at the time i bought mine....i got mine from phase....it rotates, no cables.....the only thing is that the camera has to be shut off when not in use, because the plate drains the little lith.battery in the RZ body....even without the back attached...don't ask me why....so always remember to turn the camera and always have an extra battery (duh....).....
yes the option to use the 645 for fast shooting and switch to the RZ is great...the RZ also has 1/400 so that takes care of the only real problem with the mamiya set-up.....now if the 645 only had a vertical grip.....
