Mamiya RZ67 PRO II Manuel D’Utilisation

 

 

 

The Distance Scale is used to determine 

the film-plane-to-subject distance. The scale 
itself is composed of two parts, the Distance 
Scale and Focal Length Scale. 

After focusing, the correct distance can be 

determined by locating the point at which the 
curved line for the focal length in use inter-
sects the Distance Scale. 

For example, if the 110 mm lens is 

mounted on the camera and focused as 
shown in the illustration, the subject is 1.5 m 
(5 ft) from the film plane. 

1. Set the Aperture Ring to the desired f-stop 
and focus the lens.  
2. Depress the Depth-of-Field Preview Lever 
of the lens and you will be able to check the 
depth-of-field directly on the focusing screen.

1. Check the camera-to-subject distance on 
the Distance Scale. 
2. Rotate the Lens Distance Scale Knob until 
the previously noted camera-to-subject 
distance is aligned with the center index of the 
Depth-of-Field Scale. 
3. Locate the selected aperture on both sides 
of the Depth-of-Field Scale. 
4. The figures of the Lens Distance Scale, 
appearing above the selected aperture, 
indicate the nearest and furthermost limits of 
sharpness for that aperture. 

For example, when the 110mm lens is 

focused at 3 m and stopped down to f /32, 
everything from approximately 2m to 10m will 
be in focus. 

When desiring to know the depth-of-field in 

feet, rotate the Lens Distance Scale 180°, as 
one side is in feet and the other in meters.
