Adapter -- Canon EF lenses to Mamiya RZ67 pro ii body

ezippy — Wed, 08 May 2024 19:30:25 GMT

I'm considering the purchase of a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II camera body and curious if there's an adapter that would allow me to use my Canon EF lenses on the Mamiya RZ67 body.

All I've found in my research are adapters that allow the use of RZ67 lenses on an Canon EF camera body, which is not what I'm looking for.

As I understand it, the Mamiya RZ67 is a roll-film camera that shoots onto 120 or 220 film. Images in that format are generally 6cm wide. No EF lens can create an image anywhere close to that size. So I would guess no.

Plus, most EF lenses would require electronic control from the camera to focus and set aperture; and the Mamiya isn't going to provide that. So, again no.

Interestingly enough if it is possible to find an adapter the Mamiya RZ67 creates a "crop", in this case I guess an "enlarge", factor of 0.5x. 😁 An ef 50mm f1.8 would appear like a 25mm lens. I know there are Mamiya RZ67 adapter to EF but not aware of the other way. I am pretty sure there would be some significant vignetting but not knowing the distance from film plane to lens who knows.
