What is a Mamiya 6?
The first Mamiya 6 was a folding, fixed lens, mechanical camera with no meter. It focused by moving the film plane instead of the lens. Mamiya made about a dozen variations over the course of twenty years. I am not discussing these cameras here.
How do you use the Mamiya 6 IV lens?
The Mamiya 6 IV lens has to be cocked every time you want shoot, and there is a small knob on the left of the camera that you have to switch when the shot has been taken to prevent double exposure and overlapping frames (and a little flag pops in the incredible small viewfinder).
What is the best Mamiya camera system?
Overall Performance The Mamiya 6 is the world’s most perfect camera system. The Mamiya 6 camera is better than the newer Mamiya 7system in terms of convenience, which is the whole point of these cameras. See the comparison between the Mamiya 6 and current Mamiya 7 here.
How do I select fields of view on the Mamiya 6?
HA! All lenses’ fields of view are automatically selected through the Mamiya 6’s viewfinder. This is unlike the Mamiya 7, which requires a stupid external finder for use with its two widest lenses. Mamiya 6 and 50mm lens collapsed (left) and extended (right).
