Yes
Will the NB lenses fit and work on an RZ67 body without the need for a lens/body adapter.??
 
What's a NB lens? Looked on google and
Radiation Resistant Non Browning Lenses Available
 
Is it a typo for RB lenses? If so, the answer is a qualified yes.

NB stands for New Barrel. Had an RB but not an RZ so don't know the answer to the original question unfortunately.

RB uses "C" lenses, so I suppose it would be new barrel C lenses or simply RB lenses ;)

Yes the NB stands for New Barrel.

I have used C lenses for an RB on my RZ without problem but I cannot find much info regarding the NB lenses.

No it's not a typo .....Definetly NB lens that I'm asking about.

So frustrating as I have a chance of a 50mm NB at a good price IF it's going to work.

So what camera was a NB lens made for?

Edit: found out...I been using an RB for about 30 years and never knew there were different lens types..:rolleyes:

I don't see why I won't, nb lenses are the same as the original design but in the revised smaller barrel of the C lenses.

A much shorter span of time for me Brian with the RZ but like yourself had little knowledge about the different ens types....in particular, never heard of the NB

My thoughts Steve, just I don't want to take the plunge then possibly be stuck with a lens that is little use to me and is difficult to move on for the same reasons.

Trying to obtain info on the internet but it's kinda thin

Thanks Brian

I can handle single coated.....looks like i could be onto a winner.

Btw I just noticed that it's the 65mm not the 50 but what's 15mm between friends! :D

Still wide enough for what i want it for (y)

I've got by on my 65mm and paid £365 for it from Mr Cad in the old days....a grey import so it was cheaper .
 
Well I took the plunge BUT not on the NB .....Ironically the following day there was a Sekor C 65mm RB67 lens came up for not much more than the NB so it would have been foolish not to pay just a few quid more....at least that what I'm telling myself :p:D
