Mamiya RB67 lenses on Red Epic MX

[Iskander Ben Amor]

Hi everyone! I have a Mamiya RB67 Pro SD medium format film camera with 3 lenses - the Mamiya 50mm f/4.5, 90mm f/3.5 L and 180mm f/4.5.

I'm getting an Epic MX in the future and it would be really cool to be able to use those lenses on it! Does anyone have any experience or sample footage from this type of setup? What type of adapter would I need if this is possible? I've seen a post where someone used 645 lenses with great results but I can't seem to find much info about RB lenses.

Thanks!

We've shot with Hasselblad lenses and Epic's (MX and Dragon) for years. Same idea. Great for tilt shift.

Since RB/RZ lenses focus by camera's built-in bellows,
an adapter with helicoid is necessary.

Nice looking one from Germany never made it to market,
but here's one from Fotodiox.

That is awesome! I am going to try this on my 5D mk II first! Thanks for the link Billy.
