I didn’t know about the disks for the RB 180 C, and I’ve only had it for 45 years! I do have an old set of Glamour Soft filters that I used for a series on orchids with my 140mm macro years ago. And this reminds me that I still need to try out the never-used T-2 mount 120 H/4.5 Imagon I’ve had for years. A good use for my DSLR!

great camera system and still used by a lot of professionals (annie Liebowitz for one, when not using her leica S2) i use the rz variant and these cameras cannot be beat. hope you have a lot of fun - also, ebay has a lot of excellent lenses for your camera making it an affordable system for you.

Yeah!
Definitely post some here when you get them.
OR...(and this is my preference)
Go get an enlarger for pennies on the dollar and do some wet printing of those humongous negatives!

exactly, i use my enlarger and wet darkroom for black and white, and some colour, but mostly send the colour transparencies out to an independent lab.

I loved the RB67 Pro S. Yes a beast but did take incredible shots. I had a MEP instructor who would nothing let me use anything else for his golf tournaments and the Arch College had the same attitude.

It is heavy, but not much if any heavier than my 5D3, battery grip and 70-200 f2.8, which weighs in at ~6lbs. Ouch!

I shoot a lot of B&W 120 film. My favorite camera is my Yashica 124G. I bought it new about 1970. I also have a Holga. The toy cameras are a blast and you can't get
The same look with a normal (good quality) camera.
I set up a developing lab for B&W film for about $100. I did this because I had to send off my exposed film.
I wouldn't trade for my Nikon D300s but film is making a comeback.
