Sounds like a driver needs an update.
Windows usually install any drivers detected that need updating at the same time but often don't include either less common ones or ones where the manufacturer of the bit of hardware involved hasn't kept up.
I suggest you do a scan of the computer of all drivers to see which may be due for an update. You may find more than just the keyboard/mouse that are out of date.

Look forward to Voss perhaps describing his 'method'.
I really admire his 'tone' of B&W treatment.

I recently was given a Mamiya RB67. I am interested in trying it out and purchased a roll of Kodak ISO 400 B & W film. I have watched a number of You tube videos on loading the film and basic camera operations, and have played with the functionality without film in the camera.

The one question I have is how do I set the ISO for the film. I have seen that there is 100 and 400 ISO film available in the 120 format. However, I haven't seen any mention of the ISO setting in any of the videos I have watched. I have downloaded a copy of the manual and it is also silent on the ISO setting.

If someone has information about the ISO setting, I would appreciate the help.

Thank you.

Great question
But something you dont have to worry about. No ISO setting on film cameras back in the day to worry about. I think there may be a little wheel that you can set as a reminder (might be wrong on the RB67), of what film you have loaded tho.
Set the ISO on your light meter and get the options for shutter speed and aperture from that. Transfer which ever combo you have decided gives you the desired result and after focusing, push the shutter release.
QED.

Lucky you. This is a great camera, a favourite for many pro photographers. I had the Mamiya Press and couldnt afford the RB67.

I like that Voss, especially the sharpness front to back.
Wouldn't have been an easy street shot

Yeah, I can understand that additional cost being a real turn off. I'm luck in that I'm in US so got Free Shipping. With a 10% discount they gave me at PMG, and no taxes, I ended up paying $1192. Not cheap, but it was nice to saver on shipping and tax. Yes, I have the LX100. It's a great little walk around camera. I had wanted that camera since it first came out but took me a few years to find one on EBay that I could swing.


Re the LX100: I sometimes find Ive got more 'keepers' from the LX100, in a month, say, than I have got with either of the other 2. I just wish they had included even just a 'fiip' out screen on the updated one. I've found that I now use the flip out back screen more and more on the D750 with the tripod and Live View.

Good choice. I was looking for a new tripod recently and came across a review on Promedia tripods that put them on my final list as well. Then saw the price! In NZ I would have to get thru Amazon but landed here it was going to be over $NZ2500, depending on exchange rate. Am happy with the Manfrotto I ended up buying but later saw one listed on a NZ auction site. Start price was $1000 and it ended up being passed in at $1500. They certainly hold their price.
I see you use an LX100. Another good choice (imo of course). I replaced mine with the MkII recently. Not much of an upgrade. Should have saved my money and got the Promedia tripod probably, but I do enjoy using the LX100.

I think the cartoonist was intentional. It's a play on words from the 1950's.

I was, and still am, addicted to 'too much' choc chip orange ice cream.

What? Why?

Although NordVPN is already one of the best-known VPNs, its features have increased dramatically over the past few years. That's important, as the service is not cheap. In addition to protecting your web traffic, NordVPN scans downloaded files for malware and watches for malicious sites. It offers a password manager and encrypted file storage. A new and unique feature called Meshnet lets you route your web traffic securely through your own trusted devices and transfer files. For all it offers, NordVPN is an Editors' Choice award winner.

VPNs require a lot of trust because all your web traffic is routed through their infrastructure. For each review, we look over the company's privacy policy and discuss security and privacy issues directly with the company. We didn't find anything worrisome here, although NordVPN's policy is less reader-friendly than TunnelBear VPN's.

In our discussions with the company and in its privacy policy, NordVPN makes clear it does not log browsing history, traffic, or IP addresses. That's as it should be.

I had the same surprise a few months ago. My wife sorted it. I hadn't noticed in the description they were described as 'low rise'.
Returned them and got the normal fitting and the zip was as usual a long one. Same price.
Check and see if yours are shown as low rise ..

I moved from Lightroom 6 to On1 over ten years ago for a couple of reasons. Lightroom Classic 6 database was unstable causing corruptions way too often. They were recoverable but.. On1 lets your use both a browser (like Bridge and the new version of Lightroom (the cloud version that runs on the desktop) or a database (catalog). It also had layers, did a decent job of raw processing and a lot of other features. I teach Lightroom and Photoshop at the college level so that was a pretty big move for me. Each update (twice a year) has added features. Only one time did they do a release which was basically a beta. But they owned up to and quickly fixed it. So where are we at in 2024. On1 is still a great product with both the Data Asset Management , browser and lots of great features but… it doesn’t match up the masking in Lightroom Classic and Camera Raw and it is having a major problem with PhotoRaw images (apple’s DNG format for the 43MP images it can do now since iPhone 14). They are working on it but right now I am processing those images in Lightroom Classic by using On1 feature then processing the Lightroom Classic version in On1 for the effects etc. I hope they fix it soon. The masking isn’t a surprise since no other competitive product does masking as well as Lightroom Classic and Camera Raw. Right now I am in a huge project using Peakto to cull the over 500k images I’ve shot in the last 50 years to a subset for my family so that when I am gone they will have those images.

So On1 is definitely worth the price (you can get discounts by watching the various YouTube people like Jim Nix, Anthony Morganti and others. If I was starting out I would probably use Lightroom Classic but with plugins to On1.

Thanks Drigby1 and EDnsb for your comments. Regretfully Im going to have to upgrade my computer to get the full benefit of a seamless use of ON1.
So will be a little while before that happens. In the meantime tho am going to go ahead and practice, watch instructional videos etc before I perhaps forget what Ive already learned.
Cheers

If you are using ON1 v.2023 and your computer has a NVIDIA video card, that’s where I ran into the most serious issues. For that entire year, ON1 was almost entirely unusable, even after countless emails with tech-support. It was through those emails with tech-support that I found out that they “strongly recommend Apple.” To their credit, ON1 v.2024 is MUCH better, but can be intermittently dysfunctional, particularly when editing an image with several filters in the effects tab.


B.....r! Thanks for that. Yep I have a NVIDIA video card. Wonder if I can replace it? Tho its a pretty old Precision Dell 7520. Maybe not worth it. Doesn't qualify for Windows 11 either.
Maybe time for a change upwards

I left Adobe four or five years ago and replaced it with ON1. Compared to my experience with Adobe, it's a no brainer; ON1 provides a better overall experience. While ON1 is not without its issues, I would rate it an 8 out of 10. Overall, I am very happy with the program, and it certainly improves with the annual releases. There are countless YouTube resources, many of which are very good. Scott Davenport also publishes an ON1 book that he updates regularly, which is available in PDF and bound formats. You can even hire Scott for one-on-one Zoom training sessions, which IMHO, is money well spent, particularly if your time is worth more than your money. Also, one other thing to consider... I am a Windows user, so many of the most significant problems I have had involve compatibility issues. There are both Windows and Apple versions of ON1, but ON1 is optimized for Apple. When I fully retire, I will probably switch to a high-end Windows laptop, because most of my computer use will be for photo processing, not business applications.

Aah. I use a Windows 10 computer. Maybe I'm experiencing the compatibility problem you mention.

I made the jump to ON1 PR in 2017 and have upgraded every year since. Honestly, every upgrade whether the annual or an interim have annoyed me for one reason or another. I often felt the release simply wasn’t ready for prime time and crashes were frequent. That is … until the 2024 version, which has been very stable and certainly a lot faster than previous versions. I’m not a fan of the ON1 videos because in my opinion, they only address the mechanics of editing and not why and the logic of tool selection.

Interesting regarding the 'crashes'. I'm only playing with the programme at this stage with old RAW files. I open and select the file with Elements then select ON1 as the Editor. Sometimes It takes nearly a patient minute to find ON1 and then up pops the File and all is good after that. Then when I go to open another file and send that to ON1, sometimes it happens other times it seems to close ON1 down.
Ive got 32GB RAM so don't think that can be the problem.
I like the videos because I am interested in the mechanics of editing and what the tools actually can do, at this stage.
