Film

I tried using Mamiya RZ67 camera c/w 50mm, 110mm lenses and 2 film backs (as seen below). One of the film backs had a roll of film in ready for when I wanted to capture an image and the other one was empty so I could practice using the camera before capturing the images for real.

I did not find it easy using this camera. Firstly I tried using the camera without the film to practice but when I was ready to capture the images I cocked the trigger to them press the shutter release button but it would not click and capture an image. After speaking to a technician it would not take a picture was because I did not cock the shutter far enough, I needed to push it towards the end, so the technician allowed me to go back out try capture my images.

When I tried the second time I got used the cocking the shutter, I then put film back on which had film in it and while I was waiting to take a picture I practiced the shutter release several times not realising that there was a button that moved the film along as every time I cocked it. As the slide was in the back of the camera, I wound the film along without capturing any images as the slide was not removed. So in total I got about 2 or 3 images.

Below are the images I managed to capture on film. I would like to use the camera again and become more familiar with it
