It uses a Samsung SB-L160 battery. Try to find 2350 mAh batteries. There are some cheap ones with only 1800 mAh. You don't want those.

Possibly will need the Mamiya Camera control cable for Aptus-Mamiya RZ — 216-00128 ?
Looks like this is difficult to find.
Oh, special order from B&H, $180, ouch...
Anyone know of any other place to get this cable?
Here it says you need a matching focusing screen to give you the proper framing guidelines and a matching sync cord to connect the digital back and camera body.

Your searches are better than the results I obtain.
Thanks!
I have been told, "the cable is in the box with the adpater plate."
This is going to rock.
I can now go back to using my light meter and slowing down in general.
This is good...
FYI - in case the cable breaks (the standard sync cable, not the motor drive control cable), it's a $20 replacement cable, if you can find them. We have them.
Keep in mind those batteries - they are available in even larger amp ratings, and because they are not enclosed, the only harm is the battery will hang down further... but on an RZ, maybe not such a big deal if your tripod head doesn't get in the way. Standard 2350mAh SBL-160 batteries last a couple hours. How about 4-5 hours?

What's the best sensor cleaning method and product for use with digital backs?
This is kinda crazy, it seems it's always exposed?
G'day Ed,
What do you mean "always exposed"?
