RZ back question

I have a RZ67 pro that came with the 120 back,,,I recently aquired an other 120
back,,that also is marked 645,, I am not sure what this means it still has the
RZ 67 pro and 120 markings also. thanks in advance

Means the exposure area on the neg will be 6x4.5cm

Usually the 645 back includes a mask to be used with the RB / RZ cameras.
You can "paint" reference lines on your view screen, or make a mask so you
will know where on the screen the film area is.

Yes - a viewfinder mask came packaged with these on original sales... you
might want to contact MAC and find out if they have one for sale
separately... of course Mamiya America will probably want too much for it
and you might be better off cutting your own from thin opaque sheet plastic
(PIA - buy one if you can find it.)

....so put a mask on your ground glass.

This shape but correct size...

I always found it a good idea to paint the back with white paint...just an
area corresponding to neg size - as a quick visual reminder of the frame
orientation.
