What is the difference between the Mamiya 43mm and 50mm?
The Mamiya 43mm lens is wider so needs the additional external wide angle viewfinder. For the 50mm you can guestimate the composition and I just preferred the idea of a small camera setup. That being without the external finder to carry around.
What is the difference between the Mamiya 7 150mm and 210mm?
The Mamiya 7 150mm lens is smaller than the Mamiya 210mm lens and shares the same 67mm filter thread as the Mamiya 50mm lens. This works well if I want to carry a 2 lens setup for the Mamiya 7.

For many other medium format camera systems the kit lens tends to have a f2.8 widest aperture such as the Hasselblad Zeiss Planar 80mm f2.8 or the Mamiya RZ67 Pro II 110mm f2.8 lens. It would have been nice to see this ‘feature’ for the Mamiya 7 80mm.
