The RZ67’s R-M Lever sets the camera into normal exposure mode, multiple exposure mode and allows the film back to be rotated. It’s easy to perform and quick operation. You can turn the back between one frame and the next and as often as you like while using a single roll. It’s a useful function and one of the reasons that explains why the camera is so big. The RZ system allows the photographer to rotate the film back for shooting in a horizontal or vertical orientation without turning the camera itself.
The RZ system, as the RB before it, natively shoots 6×7 format images (56mm x 69.2mm image size) with its standard 120 film back. So you can forget the Quadra back! Principles of RZ67 rotating film backs and the R-M lever They are hard to find, often sold for a crazy expensive price, and ever outdated. Polaroid 545 and Kodak Readyload films are no longer available in the market. When you use a 6×4.5 or a 6×6 back, Mamiya made a Viewfinder mask to help to compose images in these smaller formats. If you want to use an RB back with an RZ camera, you will need the GR/RZ adapter for Pro-SD and Pro-S backs. Quadra 72 for Polaroid 545 4×5 sheet films or Kodak Readyload and produce 72x72mm square format images.Mamyia HP702: Polaroid film pack holder for instant images like Fuji FP100C films, makes around 7×7 images (10 shots).
6×6 back for 120 rolls and 6×6 images (12 shots).Mamyia HA704 for 120 rolls and 4.5×6 images (15 shots).Mamyia HB702 for 220 rolls and 6×7 images (20 shots).Mamyia HA703 for 120 rolls and 6×7 images (10 shots).

There are seven different types of roll film holders or backs for the RZ, plus the possibility to adapt and use RB film holders too. For rectangular versions of format (6×7, 6×4.5), the back can be rotated, let you choose to shoot vertically or horizontally. They are not expensive (actually less than the ones used by the Hasselblad system). Mamiya made many of versions of their film backs, covering many different formats, all can be used and changed during a shoot. Like other interchangeable film back cameras – the Hasselblad V-System being one example – you only need multiple film holders (backs) to do that. It’s a convenient system if you begin to shoot with a black and white film and decide after few images to try a color emulsion and perfect when you have changes in light, as you can use emulsions of different sensibilities (ISO) whenever you want. Just like the RB, the RZ67 allows you to swap out the film back mid-roll roll and replace it with another if you want or need.
