I found this RB67's back on a second‑hand marketplace in China. The build quality is fantastic. I’m guessing it’s a player‑made DIY custom piece. Has anyone seen anything similar before?
Got my first film camera and some lenses. Excited to get shooting!

First time trying my Mamiya and developing and scanning at home
Shooting ILFORD in Marseille with a beat up old C3 brick. The city is wild when you look around.
This is what came out of the camera (and scan) - how to edit old black and white is a mystery to me as I try and relearn how to shoot.

Hi,
Wanted to know how much a 4SR44 battery on a RZ67 is supposed to last. Google says it should last like years and a lot of rolls, but they basically last me like 4 months where I shot 3 rolls. Is this normal?
I’m thinking about buying this Mamiya RB67 kit off of someone locally for $300 USD. While I’m fairly certain I’m getting a good price (please let me know if I’m not), I was wondering if there’s anything with these cameras I should look out for/be worried about? The seller says she doesn’t know much about the camera but says it’s functional 🤨.
I’ve only ever used a TLR before and don’t know the first thing about the behemoth cameras lol. Any insight is appreciated!
I've wanted a medium format camera for ages, and finally bought a Mamiya 645 Pro TL. I didn't know to pay attention to the focus grid on eBay though, so the one I got came with the A4 grid focus screen. I was expecting the one that you see "on all the videos/reviews", which is the micro prism one if I'm not mistaken.
The one I've got does nothing like the camera manual says it should do, so I'm now wondering how it should work and how I should use it. Does anyone have tips?
The rest of the camera is a Mamiya 645 Pro TL body, with power winder grip, AE prism finder and the 55mm f/2.8 and 150mm f/3.5 lenses.
Bought this Mamiya at a garage sale for $10 and when I went to load the camera just now, the exposure dial isn’t working. It spins and feels like it’s trying to catch on something but doesn’t and the numbers don’t change. Hard to trust if it’s actually capturing an image or not. Does this affect shooting or will it be okay?

This 105mm lens has aperture and focusing ring on the top viewing lens. Great, you can preview the aperture, but the focussing ring does not appear to do anything. What is the purpose since you focus using bellows and is this lens faulty?
Is there a waist level finder more desirable than the other? Other than looking for modern does one do something the other does not?
Last one shows a square opening, what is the purpose of that hole?
Any tips and tricks i should know? As for which camera well i am considering the original C330 (not f , not s) or the C220F.
Thank you!
Just got my negatives back and I noticed the images with longer exposures, have a strange light leak running through them.
What could this be and can I fix this?

This has happened in three rolls over the last year. The first time I thought it was a factory problem of the film itself. But after happening two more times I begin to think it's not.
The camera used was a Mamiya RB67. It has never happened with color film, only BW (always Ilford film). Can it be a problem of the back or the dark slide? It doesn't look like a shutter problem to me. The lenses are clean too.
Have you seen this before? I'm really puzzled.
