The Biggest Mamiya RB67 Lens - 500mm f/8 Sekor C

A friend of mine showed me a picture of this crazy looking lens a couple of years ago, and it has sat in my mind since then. Mainly because I only ever managed to find a couple of examples of the look it could provide online.

Thus, when I managed to hunt one down locally for a very good price, I decided I had to pick it up and see what it could do.

It has turned out to be a very interesting specific use lens, with the main challenges being its weight and cumbersome nature - it takes a while to set up even with a fair amount of practice.

The weight and its intense chromatic aberration are the main downsides. I'm not particularly bothered by optical imperfections in this case though as I didn't buy this lens to be scientifically accurate, I was just looking for interesting effects which I'd say this definitely has.
