For portrait works the monorail will not work especially without live view. More importantly, the Mamiya RZ glass has a look to them that my latest Rodenstock HR lens will not render.i still can't see the point...
i have a DF... really mobile... but when i wants more movements, then i'm using a monorail in the studio... Arca M line two, arca F line 69... linhof...
The RZ is bulky, and does not have movements... what's the point ?
i probably miss something there !
I don't understand that.With the Pro-II D, you'll have more transferrable metadata.
Never understood what this item was for.You've always had this option with the Pro/Pro-II bodies via motor drive cable.
You said it work with a P65+ , right?*HX701 - Mamiya Electronic RZ Interface Adapter for M645
- Phase One P/P+ (M645 native interface) on Pro/Pro-II and sync cable
I read this too, but i don't understand.*There is also a Phase One RZ Interface for native Hasselblad V mount that will automatically wake the P/P+ digital backs.
So, why the HX705..?If there's errors above or anyone has more to offer, by all means add it - there is not enough solid information about the DB to RZ situation.
Limited, compared to the Pro-II D. I would have to test to see what fields fill in. I'm not sure exposure speed and aperture both make it into the metada with the Pro/Pro-II.I don't understand that.
With pro II (non D), you don't have the metadata registered?
This cable plugs into the remote release port at the front of the camera and enables triggering from the computer keyboard when shooting tethered to a computer. Until recently, not an option (ironically) with the Pro-II D, but after I researched, I did find there is now a host capture cable for P+/IQ/Credo series digital backs that works with Pro-II D as well.Never understood what this item was for.
I thought it was close from the winder, manifestly not?!
Yes, I listed them as working with that adapter in my previous post that you referenced.You said it work with a P65+ , right?
I can confirme it work with a P40+
Will it work with a P25+ and a P45+ ?
Any Phase One P/P+/IQ digital back in Hasselblad V mount would work with this adapter. However, the reason for the specific design of it is that it incorporates an embedded cable that serves as an automatic wake up signaler, which was essential with P/P+ digital backs (less so on the IQ digital backs, which have an option for shooting without a wake up).I read this too, but i don't understand.
The Old Phase One? The grey V mount?
Mr Den, you got me there, I didn't reference an HX705, and I did indicate confusion over the Mamiya/leaf part numbers and do not have a document with an HX705 designation, though I am suspecting this refers to the non-electronic RZ Adapter that featured several different interface options (Hasselblad H/V and Mamiya 645) that I described in my previous post (as non-electronic RZ Adapter).So, why the HX705..?
I don't see anything wrong about the post 6 and post 22 you referenced - I just see that the information is not detailed and incomplete. That's why I expanded upon it in my post. Sheldon refers to possibly needing to dremel out the stud from the plate, but so far we have not found this necessary (it could be a specific model distinction (maybe only for Pro-II, not Pro?), otherwise, I have no ready explanation for the discrepancy).So..

is totally wrong!!!
I read many things from people who are sure to be right, and they are not.Thanks for the information you've provided in patient and professional manner Steve.
I would have been tempted to reply to MrDen's comments "All i read here is false" and "So this...and this....is totally wrong!!!" in a less diplomatic fashion.

Do you have a reference for this cable?This cable plugs into the remote release port at the front of the camera and enables triggering from the computer keyboard when shooting tethered to a computer.

The HX701 got the name on the upper corner right : Mamiya RZ PRO IIDMr Den, you got me there, I didn't reference an HX705, and I did indicate confusion over the Mamiya/leaf part numbers and do not have a document with an HX705 designation, though I am suspecting this refers to the non-electronic RZ Adapter that featured several different interface options (Hasselblad H/V and Mamiya 645) that I described in my previous post (as non-electronic RZ Adapter).
I hope that clears that up for you.
Phase One say the same on their official site.I don't see anything wrong about the post 6 and post 22 you referenced - I just see that the information is not detailed and incomplete. That's why I expanded upon it in my post. Sheldon refers to possibly needing to dremel out the stud from the plate, but so far we have not found this necessary (it could be a specific model distinction (maybe only for Pro-II, not Pro?), otherwise, I have no ready explanation for the discrepancy).
Thank you so much for your time and your precious precisions.Your welcome!

MrDen,I read many things from people who are sure to be right, and they are not.
Only Steeve knows what he is saying, and is great in his informations, and i thank him for that.
Sorry, but i'm about to buy a digital RZ plate, and i was certain that i need the HX705, cause i got a PROII (non D), manifestly the HX701 is ok for this.
Make a big difference here.
People bought wrong items, because of all those comments, so sorry to be a bit hard, but it was legitimate i think.
K created an account just to help clear things up.
First, there seems to be two versions of the HX701 adapter plate. One with a notch and one without. I'm guessing the one without the notch is an older version and that's the adapter that needs to be modified as shown by Sheldon N in this picture.
And here's a picture of the two different versions (Thanks Google). I have the second version with the notch.
As for Phase One's site saying it...
"needs to be modified in a local Mamiya Center...Once this modification has been done - the camerabody cannot be used with a film cassette."
I believe what they are meaning is maybe the physical removal of the dark slide pins, which would disrupt the film functionality.
Sheldon N has shown instead, you can just simply dremel the adapter. This way it affects the body in no way and can still function with film backs without a problem.
I think this confusion and blurb on Phase One's site is intentional by the way. Not gonna get into this now.
Let me make this clear, YOU DO NOT LOOSE THE ABILITY TO USE FILM BACKS ON THE RZ WHEN GOING DIGITAL
Now back to the adapter plates...
There is the HX701 without and with a notch which I'll refer to as HX701v1 and HX701v2. And there is the HX705 adapter (It does exist, I have it). The HX701 adapters have contacts for use with the Pro IID. The HX701v2 can be used with the Pro II (non-D) WITHOUT modification but needs a sync cable. The HX701v1 can also be used with the Pro II (non-D) but needs to be modified as shown by Sheldon N, and also still require a sync cable. The HX705 should work with all RZ bodies with again a sync cable. Here's a picture of the HX705 (Notice same notch).
As for the digital back mount type, the HX70x adapters are all for M-mount digital backs. So for the Pro II (non-D), you should consider getting a digital back (M-Mount) that DOESN'T need to be woken up, e.g. Leaf Aptus II or Phase One P65+, so all that would be needed is one sync cable.
Now if you want to use a digital back that DOES need to be woken up, e.g. Phase One P25/P25+ or P45/P45+, then I think your best bet is using the Phase One adapter (item no. 70964) shown below.
Remember this would need a digital back with a V-Mount. This option uses both a wake cable and sync cable, so 2 cables. Also, this adapter doesn't allow for rotating the back. You must physically remove the back and re-mount the back in the orientation you want. Whereas the HX70x adapter plates still allow you to rotate the back (On a side note, before attaching the HX70x adapter plate to the body, you have to rotate the back first. So rotating with a digital back will now go counter-clockwise vs. clockwise with a film back).
Leaf also has adapter plates, but I believe it can only be used with their Aptus backs. To use with say the Credo, I believe it has to be physically modified. This option also needs a sync cable.
If you do not want the need for a sync and/or wake cable, then I'd say go with a Pro IID body, HX701 adapter, and an M-Mount digital back (There seems to be a battery drain issue with this though).
I have both the HX701v2 and HX705 adapter with a Leaf back and confirm that it works on the Pro II (non-D) body.
Long post, I need a drink...
Hope this helped clears things up.
Cheers,
