So I just received my RB67 in the mail today. I cannot seem to fire the mirror however. I have removed the dark slide. The lens shutter is cocked and the mirror is in the down position, I can the depress the shutter button but can't fire. If someone could help that would be great.

EDIT: Okay, so I can release the mirror, but only if I remove the whole film back?

Have you loaded a roll of film and wound to start?

No, I haven't gotten around to buying any yet. Does film need to be loaded to fire?
Ive never used the rb but on my rz if i dont have film in it i have to set it to multiple exposure to fire it.

Thanks! This seems to work. If anyone else with an RB could confirm that would be great.
