Dopey.

I read about this recently; it’s the HX701 for the RZ D and the HX702 for the RB67. Nice of them to cater for the older h/w.

Just found this ... Not sure if it’s the 702 (Mamiya part number 212-107).

Re: Mamiya ZD back

I’d like a ZD back to try IR with because it has that removable filter. Folks have been getting nice results with 4/3 cameras but I would like a beefier format.

That is indeed the one for the RZ. The problem is that it's specified for the Pro IID only, and it's not clear that it would work on the II non-D. It looks as though it only provides a pass-through for the D's electrical contacts with no obvious provision for "hand shaking" with a non-D.

No this one is 701, i.e one for IID

Here is one with wakeup cable for RB

there is similar one for RZ..

But you got to check with them - b/c it might have different opening size, Mamiya ZD is same as Aptus 22/54 size-wise

Pity that Leaf/P1/Mamiya charge you another grand or more for this thing, which is essentually wee piece of metal :(

Would be interesting to see if this

can be hacked with dremmel and some metal work into doing job.. for 230$ this will be a steal ;)

The 28 is a different size then the 22/33 one that I posted which is the same size opening as the ZD.

Re: Mamiya ZD back

Ah, no place to attach such cord on ZD, alas. So special plate will be needed. Mamiya making one for RZ II, afaik.
Sergei, I am belatedly thanking you for your use of the [somewhat archaic] “alas.”

I enjoy a bit of diversity and non-conformism in language, and I find that folks who come to English as a second language are oft more intrigued by the possibilities than a lot of native-borns.

But could alas mean something else in txt language? :cool:

Mark, I found this comparison between the ZD back and the Leaf Aptus 22 on Luminous Landscape.

Useful.

I would love to buy your ZD back as a spare and to shoot IR with it but am simply too broke at the moment.

Interesting read. It echos my experience between the ZD and my Aptus-II 7 at iso 100 in the studio, if we ignore the resolution difference.

The back is up on Ebay

:( I need to get comfortable with the RZ in the studio so I can make it pay it's own bills. It was educational doing a "for fun" session with the RZ followed the next day by a paid gig with my 1DsIII.
