Manufacturer description
Designed for professional use, Mamiya optics are well-known for exceptional center-to-edge resolution and optical correction. The RB67 lenses span the full range of focal lengths, from 50mm extreme wide angle to 360mm telephoto. Rugged breech-lock mounts hold them securely on the camera while permitting rapid interchange. Each has an automatic stop-down diaphragm with click stops at half-stop intervals. Each is fitted in its own M-X full-synchro shutter with speeds from 1 second to 1/400th, plus T.
RB67 lens barrels reveal precise, solid construction with careful attention to practical details. Clearly marked white-on-black scales (aperture, depth-of-field and shutter speeds) are easy to read, even in available light. Other features include depth-of-field previewer and independent mirror control. Furthermore, one filter size (77mm screw-in type) fits all RB67 lenses. All are supplied with lens hood.
