Shelby, is it really that much easier to focus with the 4x loupe compared to the WLF? Does it cover the area of the digital back? Did you manage to attach it to the body or simply place it over the ground glass while shooting?
As far as lenses go, I absolutely agree. There really is something magical in their rendering, something I don't see in the older Mamiya 645 glass. This leaves me curious how the Schneider LS lenses compare. They certainly do have more microcontrast, but its hard to judge if they have that special something without actually using one. Does anyone use both and can do tests?
The RZ really is great, there is nothing to be desired image quality wise, in fact it probably surpasses a number of MF systems out there! Not to mention for what price. My only regrets are that being a 6x7 camera it is not optimized for todays (sub)645 backs, as well as metering in the WLF, but then again there is always the AF/DF for that.
