The adapter you mentioned is a bit on the expensive side, besides that is too big for me. I have tried the Fotodiox one, but it did not work, they accepted to take it back and refund me. I see it is now no more available on their website.
I'll be waiting that someone else creates a working adapter. I have the RZ macro lens an many 645 Mamiya lenses, which I use on my Hasselblad.
Keep please sharing your pictures with the Mamiya glass.
Nico.
Thanks.
The Actus G is a whole camera system, not just an adapter. And yes, it is big and expensive. You asked how, I said how.
As to all RZ67 adapters, you must cock the shutter to open the shutter iris as well as find a way to hold open the spring loaded darkslide ( I use gaffer tape ) before light will pass through to the camera. Aperture is set as normal, focus is by helicoid or geared rail. If you did not open the shutter and darkslide, it will appear not to work.
The RZ Macro 140mm is excellent, by the way, enjoy.

Nicely done! Did you use a lightning trigger or long exposure? I've been trying to find a lightning trigger for the X2D II but none appear compatible.
Thank you! I have a MIOPS Trigger for my Canon R5II's, haven't used it yet. The other night I was just winging it with the Blad. The exposure I posted was one 23 second exposure @f9, iso 200. I shot all over the map. Mediocre as the optical finder is, the preview screen on the back makes up for it. Trying to manually focus in the dark with the optical finder is not a fun exercise, way too noisy.
Thankfully, after all the discussion about image quality of the 20-35E, I seemed to have snagged a perfect one. Sharp across the board and the vignetting isn't really much of a thing so far. I'm looking forward to shooting some Gulfstream cockpits with it, should be spectacular. Now that I have the 20-35, I'm covered...............until they come out with a 100-200E
I took this through the front window of this barber shop. In some ways, I like the reflections in the window. I used LR Classic to also remove the reflection and it did a decent job. Which do you like?
