Question: Is the lens good enough!? Would you be comfortable using a old 50mm RB67 lens with Velvia!?

The RB67 lenses are very sharp!. I had the 90mm!. This shot was with the RB67 and the 90mm with the old Fuji Velvia!. The bellows were all the way out!.

The lenses are not as razor sharp as the RZ67, but they are still very good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was considering buying an RB67 locally about a month back, and the owner let me borrow it for a weekend!.

The kit included a 50mm lens, which I used a whole, whole lot, and it gave great results even with Velvia!. It wasn't as spectacular of a lens as the 90mm, but it certainly wasn't lacking(especially considering the large size of the resultant chromes)!.

I wouldn't hesitate at all to use it!.

(by the way, I didn't buy the kit!. It was great, but just too much camera for me)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It Looks Like A Wide Angle 50mm f/1!.4 Lens!.!.!.

i didn't know what that was, but i found this image on google images!. Is this what you mean!? If so, it looks like a standard wide angle 50mm f/1!.4 lens with manual aperture, and standard manual focus!. It looks like a similar lens from canon!. I would feel comfortable using it!. It looks like a better lens from the f/1!.8, and you would get a better depth of field!. Sure enough the RB67, is quite and old, film camera right!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I use an old 50mm lens with Velvia all time and get very good results from it!. If, however, you are attempting to use an old 50mm for an RB on an RZ, it won't fit without some type of conversion, I think!. I used the old lenses with a C-330 and got good results!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
