    This might sound like a silly question, but is there a focus mechanism in a Mamiya RZ lens?
    Or does all the focusing take place with the bellows?

    Cheers,

    In the bellows for most of their lenses. The 140 macro lens and some of the floating element lenses have fine focusing on the lens (corrects barrel distortion or something..). Main focusing is done via the bellows. Advantage of bellows focusing is that the lenses can focus very close, macro even…

    Thanks Martin, I was afraid of that.

    RZ67 Pro II body I picked up on eBay has a dodgy focus mechanism, at least the seller is taking it back, minus return shipping of course.

    Back to square one.

    Before buying another one I would take theFizz up on his offer of seeing an RZ up close as they are big and heavy. IM in Drogheda if its any closer….
