I had a RZ67 Pro II kit that I shot both film and digital with for a while. The RB67 is quite a neglected platform for digital backs, but you can use a Mamiya ZD back on it with a HX702 adapter.

But the back still needs to know when to start and end an exposure, so there is a synch cable run from the lens's PC socket to the back. Phase One M-mount backs other than the ones I've listed, and all Leaf backs, use Dalsa "always-alert" sensors which do not require a wake-up cable (but which pay the penalties of quicker battery drain and higher dark noise as a consequence), and so they can be used easily on all RZ67 versions, with, as Gregory said, a no-electronics plain metal adapter. It also means that certain other backs with Kodak sensors (the PhaseOne P20/P21/P25/P30/P45, and their improved versions P20+/P21+/P35+/P30+/P45+), when used on the ProIID, don't need the wake-up cable and associated awkward 2-step shooting sequence, that they need on other RZ67 versions. this is a shame, as they are the most affordable self-contained backs on the used market and capable of great results (I use a Kodak 645M on my 645AFD). They cannot be used on any other RZ67 version like the far cheaper ProII. This means that certain backs which completely lack a wake-up port (Kodak Proback 645M, Mamiya ZD) can be used on the ProIID.
No wake-up cables, and no lens-synch cables. It's just like using the same back on a 645AFD/AFDII/AFDIII/DF. The HX701 M-mount adapter has electronic contacts which wake up the back internally, and tell it when to expose and for how long. What the ProIID brings to the table is the ability to use ALL digital backs in M (Mamiya 645AFD) mount, without needing a wake-up cable. Sorry for the long post, but I was hoping to get this straightened out before buying a kit and then finding out it doesn't suit my needs. Eventually I'd get more lenses, but I'd like something nice to start off with. Regarding specifications the 110mm would be the winner, but I know that's not always the case. Regarding the lenses, when looking at kits (body, lens and backs) mostly I see the 90mm f3.5, the 110 f2.8 and sometimes the 127mm lens. RB67 Pro IID can take Mamiya/Leaf digital backs by means of a Leaf adapter? Can they also take the phase one backs?Ĭonsidering these options, what would be the best body to buy? RB67 Pro and Pro II can take phase one digital backs by means of a hasselblad V adapter - is this correct? I would like the possibility to go for a digital back someday, but after extensive research I'm still not sure of the compatibility options. I haven't bought anything yet because I don't know what would be the better body (Pro, Pro II or Pro IID) and lens (when looking at kits). But then I moved on to the RZ67, because I figure it's newer and should be in better condition (if well chosen of course), also because I would have a wider range of lenses to choose from (RB and RZ). I looked at the RB67 which I think I'd love for being fully mechanical. Since getting into film recently, I've been lusting for a 6x7 system.
After various searches here and at google around these questions, most threads I can find date from 2004 to 2009, which is not that current, I still have some doubts, and was wondering if anyone could help out.
