Complete system with more possibilities.
Consistant 77 mm filter size for most of lenses.
Good overall quality lenses.
Rotating back adds comforts.
Acurate shutter.
Easy to operate double exposure.
Below focusing with bright view finder, great for close-up work.

Mirror up shutter release socket on all lenses work poorly, does not return easily to original position after only 25 uses.
Relative poor lens seal, seen dust between glasses after 20 rolls of mornal shoot. Unbalanced when use 180mm or longer lenses. Be very careful and make sure hold the lens when adjusting the tripod head.
Poorly designed AE Prism.
Left focusing knob block normal attaching the Radio Slave 4i.

Good indoor camera system that works better than most. Be prepared to gain muscle if to be used out doors. Good for indoor Fine Art and architecture. Poor choice for out door wedding, and landscape.

Extremely high quality, versatile modular system. Bellows focusing covers great range and is esp. useful with fine focus. Great range of ultra-sharp lenses. Can do aperture-priority auto and 1/6th stop electronic shutter with prism.

Mega-expensive, quite heavy and large (although not in comparison to any 4x5).

An extremely high quality, reliable camera. The best 6x7 system on the market.

Customer Service

everything on this camera is very straightforward--everything attaches and detaches easily with a single lever

I've found myself accidentally tripping the shutter release when moving the camera

After debating extensively whether to get this or a 6x4.5, I decided that as long as I was going to get a large camera (I've been using a lot of Nikons previously) I should go for the biggest possible negative. The first slides from this camera convinced me that this was the right choice. People would feel better about the weight if they regard this not as a heavy medium format camera, but as a light and portable view camera.

this is my first medium format camera

The RZ67 is a very versitile camera. I found it's functions very natural for me, especially with it's bellows for close focussing, and the revolving back. The mirror up feature allows for shots with almost no vibration at all, with the leaf shutter in the lens.

Do not use the new lithium batteries in this camera. They are unpredicable.

Also, the 60 second time limit for tripping the shutter when using the mirror up feature is annoying. It forces you to waste a frame sometimes.

Everyone agrees that this is a very large and heavy camera. But when considering that the images approach 4 x 5 in quality, the size and weight do not seem so bad.

As a system camera, there is almost nothing that it cannot do.

Nice robust camera, rotating back, sharp lenses, lots of accessories for almost every need. Well thought out interlock system to prevent you from making a mistake such as taking a picture with the dark slide in place.

I find it a great camera when I need those big 6x7 chromes for a job. It doesn't matter whether it's on location or in the studio...this camera delivers! Weight isn't a problem since I'm used to lugging around two F5's with big lenses...an RZ67 with 75mm shift is nothing in comparison weightwise.

Great studio camera, rotating back

Size, Weight

A camera that is meant to sit on a tripod. Just too cumbersome to travel with and do location work. Lenses are good, lots of accessories, but for outdoor stuff I stick to my Hassy.

Can do anything and has a full range of accessories. As a studio camera it is very effective and easy to use.

This is a heavy beast but very robust. The only problem I have had is with the sharpness of the 50mm lens at infinity.

A very nice studio camera with the possibility of landscape work as well. Good for location and commercial/industrial work. Whilst I won't use it anymore for landscape work, I love it for just about anything else.
