Review lenses RZ/RB system

/10 Comments/in , /by

A while ago I wrote the review about the RZ67ProII that I love to use in my studio work. Recently this review has become totally hot again because Mamiya re-released one of the best studio cameras. When I bought the camera it could be bought for little to nothing in great shape and the lenses were also very cheap. Somethings have changed, prices have gone up and will probably go up even more when more Medium Format shooters will discover this beauty.
You can read my review of the RZ here.

On the forum one of the visitors (Irek) gave a great review/overview on some of the lenses and I decided to put that review also here on the blog, I think a lot of people can benefit from this, so if you’re in the market for some serieus studio glass make sure to read on.

/in /by

Normally I try to keep to photographic gear, but this is one piece of hardware I really have to review on the blog.
We all do need a projector sometimes, being it for a seminar, workshop or just showing people your work.
If you go to a location were there already is a projector a lot of photographers decide to just use that projector, but trust me in most cases this is not the smart thing to do. In most locations the projectors are very bad, sometimes you can solve this if the owner is willing to hand you the remote, in this review I will give you some tips and also do a small review on a special projector I think you really should have/use.
