For the last few months I have been shooting with the RB67 or as I fondly refer to it ‘The Beast’.
As the name suggets the camera shoots 6x7 negatives on 120mm film has a rotating back to make it easier to swap between portrait and landscape shots and is focussed by bellows meaning you can shoot extremely close to your subject.
The camera is toally modular, the shutter is in the lens and the body has to be cocked seperate to the film wind on. The ground glass waist level finder is super bright and makes focus easy.
You can find all of the specs elsewhere online “but whats it really like to shoot?” I hear you ask…..
Like most things sexy… and this is one sexy camera…. performs best when you take your time!
I find that with a good strap its not too bad carrying it around across your shoulder, swinging it under your arm when you want to shoot (rifle style)
Remember to take the dark slide out at the same time as you take the lens cap off otherwise you will look like a d*”k when you have spent ages composing and focusing only for the bloody thing not to fire.
I found that I generally focused, framed, then fine focused with the magnifyer then shot.
Some people say this camera is to hand hold and that a tripod is a must. I call those people pussys. I have shot this camera at 1/30 and got nice sharp results. A strap and a beer belly to rest it on is all you need :)
PRICE - £400 to £800
IMAGE QUALITY - 5* scans are great, beutiful soft focus areas, scans are as good as most digital sensors and you get that lovely film quality.
RELIABILITY - 4*

A solar halo is a ring of light that appears around the sun. It's caused by sunlight refracting through ice crystals in high, thin cirrus clouds.
My first ever medium format camera, Lubitel 166B! For years I have used only 35mm camera; Nikon FM, Nikkorex F, Sigma SA7n, Yashica J and Zenit twins 122 and 12XL. All of which are awesome cameras, by the way. I'm super excited to start using this camera for better quality pictures that "pop" and are a bigger field of view. I just need to decide which 120 film to use...any suggestions?
