1. Press the shutter cocking lever down fully.

2. Turn the bayonet ring counterclockwise, aligning its red mark with the lens mounting mark (4) on the body, and remove the lens.

If you attempt to remove the lens with the mirror in the up position, the camera safety interlock mechanism is engaged which does not permit the lens bayonet ring from turning fully to the dismount position.

• Handling the Roll Film Holder

Types of Roll Film Holder

There are three types of roll film holders .

For 6 x· 7cm ; 120 roll film 10 exposures

For 6 x 7cm ; 220 roll film 20 exposures

For 6 x 4.5cm

; 120 roll film 16 exposures

Although the outer cassette of 6 x 7 ro ll film holders are the same , the film inserts are designed for one size film only. The difference is indicated by the film type index marked on the film insert

All types of holders are used the same way ; however , special i nstruction for the

6 x 4 .

When loading and unloading film , avoid direct sunlight.

Use a location in the shade.

1 . Open the back cover by pulling out the back cover latch , while slightly pressing the back cover.

2. Remove the film insert from the holder .

3 . By pressing the right side spool release pin (R 13), the take-up spool stud (R 14) will retract. At this point , insert an empty spool on the take-up shaft.

4. Next, while pressing the lell side spool release pin

(R 10) , insert a new roll of film on the film spool stud.

Load the film so that the leader paper can be pulled out in the arrow direction. In this way , the black side of the leader paper will appear on the outside. (If the black side does not appear on the outside , reload the film , reversing the film position.)

5 . Pull out the leader paper and insert the tip into the groove of the take-up spool. Position the film so that the leader paper is winding evenly between the spool flanges; otherwise the film may be taken up unevenly , causing trouble.

6 . Move the film advance lever (R 3) gently, until the starting mark (arrow) of the leader paper aligns with the starting mark (R 12) of the holder. The film advance lever can be moved in severa l short, definite strokes.

NOTE: If the leader paper is pulled too far , the film may become fogged. Be careful not 10 go beyond the starling mark (arrow) .

8. When the film insert is in position , close the back cover and fully push in the back cover latch while pressing the back cover.

9. The clip (R 6) on the back cover can be used for holding the cover of a film box or a slip of paper to record information.

10. Wind the film advance lever until it stops, the figure " 1 " will appear in the exposure counter (R 4), indicating the film ' is in position ready for the first exposure .

NOTE: Wind the film advance lever in a slow steady manner to avoid film winding problems.

• Photographing

1. Attach the loaded holder to the camera and pull out the dark slide ~ R 1).

2 . Adjust the focus , determine the exposure setting , and release the shutter.

(The shutter release button cannot be pressed unless the dark s l ide is removed .)

3. When the shutter is released , the double-exposure warning signal (R5) turns red Move the film wind-stop release lever

(R 9 ) in the direction of the arrow , wind the film advance lever until it stops , and prepare for the next photograph. As soon as the release lever (R 9) is moved , the warning signal turns white.

NOTE : 00 not remove your finger from the shutter coc king lever until you have completed the full winding action.

If you move the shutter cocking lever a trifle and then remove your finger from the lever , the warning signal will turn red even if no picture has been taken.

Multiple Exposure Photography

By cocking the shutter and repeating exposures without advancing the film (even though the warning signal is red), fascinating multiple exposures can be created.

Dark Slide Storing Method

By inserting it fromabove, the dark slide can be stored on the side of the camera body.

Unloading Film

1. When you finish exposing the full number of exposures, the film advance lever will be freed . Then wind the film completely to the end of the leader paper.

2. Open the back cover of the holder and remove the film insert. Press the spool release pin (R 13), remove the full spool, then wrap and seal the film to protect it from loosening.

3 . Move the empty spool to the take-up side. The insert is ready for reloading.

The exposure counter (R 4) automatically resets to S (start) as soon as the back cover is opened. When the exposure counter shows other than S, a film is loaded in the , holder .

120 Roll Film Holder 6 x 4.5

Horizontal and Vertical Format Marks

When using this roll film holder, distinction between a horizontal and vertical format to be photographed is made by the format marks o n the upper side or the left side on the holder (instead of the marks for 6 x 7 format on the revolving adapter). The area to be photographed can be distinguished by the finder mask as shown in the photos.

In addition, when viewed from the rear side , the frame on the back cover symbolized by a 6 x 4.5 format indicates direction of the format in accordance with revolving the back.

Peephole for exposure meter needle of the CdS finder

The operating method is the sama as the

6 x 7 roll film holder , except for the following instructions.

Field of View

A field of view for the 6 x 4.5 format and the format direction can be ascertained through the finder mask and format index mark on the roll film holder.

Attaching the Finder Mask

1. Remove the focusing hood from the camera body .

2. Slightly curve up the finder mask by bearing on the lugs on the mask with the finger tips ; then insert the four corners of the mask under the leaf springs on the focusing screen frame as shown in the photo.

Attach the mask so that the triangular hole is positioned on the upper, left corner, viewed from the camera rear. This hole gives access to reading the exposure meter needle when the CdS Finder is attached .

3. Reattach the focusing hood.

• Distance Scale • Close-up Photography

Distance from the film planE!

. to the subj e ct can be de o termined by the distance scale (7) .

Curves on the distance scale ar e represented in a different color for each lens . The figure on the distance g r aduation

(6) which meets the curve for th e lens used after f o cusing reveals the distance to the subject.

For ex am pie, if the distance graduation and the curve are as shown i n the photo after focus i ng with the 127 mm lens , you can confirm that distance to the subject is 5 ft by reading the graduation aligned with the orange curve,

• Using a Tripod

Exposure compensation for close-up photography

When the bellow s is e x tended for close·up photography and the distance between the lens and the film plane i ncreases beyond normal , an increase i n e x posure is required .

To adjust the e x posure , use the exposure compensation scale appearing on the distance scale (7) . The exposure compensation scale shows an index for each lens marked in

1 / 2 steps .

Focus on the subject and note the pattern of the scale where the distance scale for the lens meets the distance scale graduation plate edge . The compensating value is shown below .

Read the compensating value of the same pattern, and increase the exposure accordingly . For example , when the scale shows the pattern as shown in the photo when focused on a certain subject , e x posu r e needs to be increased by one step . If your exposure meter shows the exposure setting of

1 / 60 sec. at f / 16 , the setting must be adjusted to 1 / 30 sec . at f / 16 or to 1 / 60 sec . at f / 1l.

One exposure step corresponds to one step on the aperture scale or one step on the shutter speed scale . For 0.5 step compensation , use the in·between aperture scale s ett i ngs .

When using the CdS finder for the Mamiya RB, exposure need not be compensated, since the meter reads actual ex · posure directly .

NOTE :

Wh e n using th e 50mm and 65mm len s e s c loser than 3 l{ ft (1 meter ) it is necessary to u se a lens aperture of f / 16 , or smaller , in order to obt a in satisfactory lens performance .

For maximum picture sharpness the use of a sturdy tripod is recommended . Insert the tripod screw into the tripod socket (23) at the bottom of the camera .

When a tripod with a 3 / 8 inch tripod screw is used , remove the inner socket by turning the tripod socket counter c lockwise with a coin or similar disk inserted in the slots of the socket. The standard tripod has a 1 / 4 inch tripod screw and can be used for this camera in conjunction with the inner tripod socket .

Tripod Mounting Base

The tripod mounting base (22) at the bottom of the camera is for attaching a quick shoe. If you keep a quick shoe on your tripod head , the camera can be quickly and easily mounted on it.

25

• Close-up Photography with the Auto Extension Tubes

Attaching and detaching the auto extension tubes is accompli s hed in the same manner as with the lens . When initially mounting a lens to the extension tube , cock both the lens and the tube. The auto extension tubes couple with the automatie aperture 01 the lenses.

For exposure compensation , reler to the lollowing table. Reading 01 the exposure compensation scale differs Irom that when not utilizing extension tubes.

2. For close-up photography , we recommend independent mirror-releasing prior to each actual photograph . This omits or minimizes any residual camera body movement due to mirror action .

3. When photographing through the extension tub es , use as small an aperture as possible .

4. When photographing in the 6 x 7 size , il the 127mm lens is used , minimal or no c orner vignetting will o c cur , however , when using lenses other than the 127mm lens with two extension tubes (No . 1 and No . 2), the possibility 01 some vignetting in the lou r corner s 01 the picture may oc c ur . When using only one extension tube , no v~netting will occur with any lens .

5 . When photographing with the Polaroid Land lilm pa c k , corner vignetting increas e s due to the larger picture size, however a 6 x 7cm portion in the center 01 the photo will be essentially clear 01 vignetting.

6. Use only one auto extension tube No. 1 lor the 65mm lens.

7 . Since it will decrease resolving power due to e xc e eding lile-size , do not u s e the auto e xtension tube with the 50mm lens .

26

1. Distance indicat e s the distance lrom the Iront edge 01 the lens barrel to the subject.

2. Subject coverage is the size 01 the subject to be photographed on the lilm .

3. The ligures in the left column 01 the close-up table indicate no bellows extension The ligures on the right indicate when the bellows is extended to the maximum (46mm) .

How 10 Find Ihe Exposure Compensalion

Value

1. After locusing the lens , read the extension amount through the bellows extension sca l e on the top 01 the distance sca l e.

2. Find the compensation value by the

" Bellows extension scale / Exposure compensation value" located on the right side

01 the close-up photography table .

For example , assume that 127mm lens is locused after combining it with No . 2 auto extension tube. 11 . the extension amount reads 35mm by the bellows extension amount scale , it is understood that the compensation value is + 2 steps by the scale located on the right side 01 the close-up photography table . In this case , increase exposure by setting the shutter speed dial at two steps slower or by opening the apertu re by two steps .

• How to Read Depth of Field

1. Focus on the subjecl, determine the aperture setting.

2. Depress the depth of field preview lever, and the depth of field can be observed on the ground glass focusing screen.

1. Turn the distance scale ring (29)' and align the figure representing the focused distance with the center index mark on the depth of field scale (30).

The two distances (on both sides of the center index mark) opposite the same figures as the ac tu al lens aperture on the depth of field scale are the near and far limits of depth for a given distance and lens aperture.

For example, when photographing a subject 15 feet away with the 90mm lens at an aperture of f / 11 , objects from about 30 to 10 feet will be in focus.

M·X selection

The M-X selecting lever is internally locked to prevent unintentional switching of the mode.

When switehing the synehronization mode, push the lever against the lens barrel. While pressing, turn it right or left until it reaehes the end. The letter X or M, whieh indieates the eontaet type , should appear in the window.

When employing eleetronie flash, set the M-X seleetor (24) to X to synchronize flash at any shutter speed . When Melass flash bulbs are used, set . the M-X selector to M to synchronize at any shutter speed. When F-class flash bulbs are used, set the selector to X and photograph at 1 / 60 sec. or a slower shutter speed.

The aperture setting for flash photography is determined by dividing the guide number of the bulb or the electronic flash unit by the distance.

Example

(Guide number) 40

(Distance to subject) 5

= (Aperture setting) 8

NOTE:

When an intensive current flows directly to the shutter due to an abnormal method of using electronic flash, the synchronizing mechanism may be damaged .

Mirror-up Photography

(

Independent

Mirror Release

)

Since a negligible shock will allect the image when using a long telephoto lens or in close-up photography, mirror-up photography is recommended.

In mirror-up photography, previously release the mirror and operate only the lens shutter at the moment of taking the photograph .

For mirror-up photography , pul l out and turn the independent mirror release operating knob (32) on the lens to match the red dot of the knob against the letter M , regardless of shutter cocking condition .

Then screw a cable release into the female screw socket in the center of the knob .

When everything is prepared , by pressing the shutter release button , the mirror and the light ballie will snap up , but the shutter will not be released .

Then release the shutter with the cable release. (When you do not have a cable release, simply turn the mirror release operating knob to N to release the shutter.)

NOTE: U nless the mirror release operating knob is returned to N , the camera will remain set for mirror-up photography. In this case , the film will not be exposed even when the shutter release button is pressed .

For this type of photography , an ideal mirror-up cable release is available as an option al accessory .

Magnifying hood

Sy attaching a magnifying hood in place of the focusing hood , the ground glass focusing screen will be further shielded from extraneous light , offering easy viewing of the image either outdoors or in the studio. The magnifier has 2.5X magnification.

Universal sportsfinder

Since it provides a wide range of view even outside the viewfinder field , this is very convenient for photographing quickly moving objects such as sports events, air meets , races , etc. You can focus on the focusing screen with the sportsfinder attached to the camera.

CdS finder

This is a magnifying hood with a built-in CdS exposure meter .

Since the meter measures light wh ich passes through the lens , the correct exposure setting is easily obtained. A compensating exposure factor need not be considered even if the bellows are extended and/or extension tubes or filters are used.
