Overview / 概要

Why Mamiya RB67 matters.

The RB67 is a counterpoint to the portable rangefinder: it makes the camera’s size part of the photographic process.

Design & context

The rotating back and bellows turn the body into a compact camera bench, built to be adjusted rather than hurried.

Buying today

Treat it as a system; check the bellows, backs, focusing rack, and lens shutter rather than buying a body in isolation.
