I have been looking at Mamiya RB67 outfits over on KEH. I have an RB, but the RZ looks like it might be a bit more usable. Any comments would be great.

Dear Dwight,
Well, I may not be the best one to answer, but: from to the best of my knowledge the RB needs to span both the body and the lens separately, while on the RZ everything is done by the knob on the body (the same way it is for the Hassie).
This might be a big advantage, if You have to shot series of pictures, e.g. when doing portrait work, or animals.
The bad thing is that I fear the old lenses for the RB won't have the electrical gear, the RZ uses - and I hardly can't imagine that You got the idea of updating both the body and all the lenses...
The performance when it comes to the pictures should in both cases be nice enough not to start complaining about - to say the least.
Best regards Peter
