Description
Great midformat film camera! Takes great pictures.
The Mamiya 6 system is a professional 6×6 cm rangefinder camera taking 120 and 220 film, it comes with three interchangeable lenses of 50mm, 75mm and 150mm.
The Mamiya 6 does the same thing as a Hasselblad system with 50, 80 and 150 lenses, just that this Mamiya weighs much less, is much easier and faster to use and makes sharper images due to the silent and vibration free electronic leaf shutters and rangefinder-design lenses.
220 and 120 film are selected just by rotating the pressure plate; the Hasselblad requires separate backs!
This rangefinder design is what makes the lenses better than the Zeiss SLR lenses exactly in the same way the Leica rangefinder lenses can outdo SLR lenses, especially for wide angles. (K. Rockwell)
