RB67 and 140mm Macro

[WoZZeR]

As in the title, browsing in the local camera shop today, popped a deposit on a Mamiya RB67 and 140 Macro.

It is getting reconditioned in the next week or so, so should be faultless on receipt.

Any RB67 users here?

They are a bit on the weighty and large side.

This will be my first larger format camera so am looking forward to it, the learning curve looks a little steep with no electronic metering.

I was reading the manual trying to get to grips with the exposure compensation scale, and the complexities of using the extensions. I hope it will all come together when I have the actual camera in front of me. I liked the WLF, and the magnifier will be great for fine focusing.

We have a Western Euromaster with Invercone to help out with the initial settings.

If I understand correctly, I will be enjoying a deeper depth of field overall.
