How to adjust mounting the adapter on my RB67

Category: Adapters

If the adapter is not perfectly fit on your camera body or your digital back, please follow the processes below.

Mounting Adapter and Sensor (Adjusting the Support Hooks at the bottom)

If the Support Hooks (2 screws) at the bottom are too loose and the bottom of the digital back wobbles, or the space under the Support Hooks is too tight for the clasp of the digital back to fit underneath, adjust the height of the bottom Support Hooks by turning them slightly using a 2mm Hex Key. Turn the screws 45 degrees at a time and check the fit of the mount.

Mounting Adapter and Camera Body (Adjusting the Body Mount Pins)

When connecting the adapter to the camera body, if there is a gap between the body and the adapter, or if you cannot lock the locking lever at the bottom because the Body Mount Pins are too short, adjust the height of each Body Mount Pin by turning them slightly using a 2mm Hex Key.

Turn the screws 45 degrees at a time and check the fit of the mount.

  • To tighten the Body Mount Pins to shorten the gap: Turn the screws clockwise.
  • To loosen the Body Mount Pins to fix the lever issue: Turn the screws counterclockwise.

Important:

  • After adjusting the Body Mount Pins, your camera may need focus calibration by adjusting the focus screen on top.
  • Do not perform this adjustment unless you experience a mounting issue, as it can affect proper focusing. Also, avoid turning the screws more than a full rotation (360 degrees).

How to do focus calibration for RB67?

Category: Adapters

Accurate focusing in most medium format SLR cameras is affected by the focus screen, mirror, and flange-back distance. If you’re experiencing a focus issue, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause.

Therefore, it’s recommended to have a professional diagnose and adjust the focus. However, if you have a thorough understanding of these components and can identify the source of the focus issue, you can attempt calibration with the focus screen or body mount pins.

Method 1: Adjusting the Focus Screen on Top of Camera
1) Remove the focus screen.


2) Mark the original position of each Adjustment Screw (4 screws).


3) Slightly rotate the Adjustment Screws to achieve proper focus. We recommend turning them in small increments (about 45 degree) each time you check focus. You may need a precision tool for this task.

Turning 180 degree makes about 0.1mm movement.

  • Counterclockwise (Focus Screen Goes Up):
    Focus will move front to back. (Treatment for front-focused issue)
  • Clockwise (Focus Screen Goes Down):
    Focus will move back to front. (Treatment for back-focused issue)

Method 2: Adjust the Body Mount Pins on the Adapter
The adapter allows for minor focus adjustments by modifying the height of the Body Mount Pins (4 screws) used for mounting the camera body. (See instructions linked next for details on adjusting the Body Mount Pin length.[ LINK ] )

If the focus is back-focus, follow the steps below.

  1. Turn each of the 4 pins counter-clockwise in small increments (30 ~90 degrees each). It’s important to turn all 4 pins by the same amount.
  2. Repeat step 1 with 30 degrees until you achieve the desired focus.
  3. Important: Do not turn the pins more than a total of 720 degrees (two complete rotations).

Important: Avoid turning the screws more than a full rotation (360 degrees). If you reach this point and still experience focus issues, it likely stems from other factors on the camera and cannot be resolved with this method.

If the focus is front-focus, follow the steps above with clockwise direction.

Is there any difference in the products between this site and your eBay store?

Categories: Accessories, Adapters, General, Lenses

There is absolutely no difference.

Our products are available for purchase on our eBay store and on this site. This site is our main store.

However, please note that the prices listed on eBay may be higher than those on our website. This is because eBay charges us transaction fees, promotion fees, and taxes for using their platform, which can amount to around 25-30% of the final sale price.

Rest assured that the products listed on both sites are exactly the same, so you can choose to buy from either store based on your preference.

If you’re an international customer, you can purchase products through only our eBay store, as they offer excellent international shipping services that cover almost every country. Unfortunately, we cannot compete with eBay’s shipping rates and coverage. However, if you don’t mind the shipping cost and the customs tax, please email us your shipping address and what item you want to buy. We will send you an electric invoice that includes the shipping cost so that you can pay online.

What sync cables should I use for Hasselblad HxD series digital backs(A.K.A. CFH) with RB67 / RZ67?

Category: Adapters

For making sure, before you find the sync cable for HxD series digital back, you need to have a solution regarding a power source for the digital back because HxD digital back doesn’t include any battery when you detach it from the camera body.
However, recent models of Hasselblad digital back like H5D or H6D have the power input port (12v or 24v).
If you google to find how to make a portable battery pack for Hasselblad digital backs, you can easily get many simple ideas.
Or, if you are using the digital back in your studio with a computer, the digital back can also receive power through a Firewire cable from the computer without using another power source.

If you have the solution for the power source like the above, now you can use this kind of sync cable to operate RB67 / RZ67 and HxD with our adapter.

Please be aware that H1D cannot be worked with our adapter because H1D doesn’t have the Sync-In port.

What sync cables should I use for PhaseOne P or IQ1/2/3 Series digital backs with RB67 / RZ67?

Category: Adapters

Firstly, you need to confirm whether your digital back is designed for both 1-shot and 2-shot, or only 2-shot. You can determine this from the list below:

  • P20+ / P21+ / P25+ / P30+ / P45+:
    These digital backs have Kodak Sensors, which require the 2-shot method to take a picture because they need a wake-up signal before the actual shot.
  • P40+ / P65+ / IQ1,2,3 Series:
    These digital backs have DALSA Sensors(we don’t know the manufacturer of IQ 2, 3 series’ sensor yet), which support standby mode. This mode allows them to take a picture with only 1 shot and does not require the 2-shot method. However, you can still choose to use the 2-shot method to save battery power by deselecting standby mode.

Now that you understand the different types of digital backs and their corresponding sync cables, you can choose the appropriate cable based on the model of your digital back and your preferred shooting method. (For IQ 4 series users, please don’t buy the multi-connector below because IQ4 series is needed 12-pin multi-connector, not 8-pin multi-connector below.)

2-Shot Cable

Option 2

Option 3
