I recently purchased a 50mm lens for my Mamiya RB67, and I had a question about
it:

There are 2 settings on the 50mm lens that my 90mm lens doesn't have. They are
"N" and "M". What do these mean?

Thanks in advance.

N is Normal while M is used when shooting in the mirror lock up mood with
two cable releases.
Your 90 may say N and U or U and N I don't recall which.

Thanks, Mike. Actually, my 90mm lens only says "Mirror Up" and then just has a
red dot for "normal" mode. That's why I got a little confused.

Hey Mike,
You once sent me info on repairing my RB backs, i.e., address, cost, etc.
I've since lost that email and I'm ready to send them in, if you're still in
the business. Please send that info again to mattclara at mattclara dot com
