Mamiya 6 with a 75mm f/3.5 lens!
We aquired this guy from one of our regular camera enthusiasts who film tested the camera and showed us the results!
The Mamiya 6 or New Mamiya 6, introduced at the 1986 Photokina and released in 1989; is a modern rangefinder camera giving 6×6 cm images on 120 / 220 film. The body has a collapsing lens mount which accepts several interchangeable Mamiya lenses of very high quality. Lenses include a wide angle 50mm f/4.0, a standard 75mm f/3.5 and a telephoto 150mm f/4.5.
It uses an electronic shutter built into each lens with speeds from 1/500 to 4 seconds plus bulb exposure. Since it's a leaf shutter system, flash sync is available at all speeds. It can be used with either the hot shoe or the PC sync connector. An electronic self-timer is available with a delay of 10 seconds. When set, the LED in front is lit, and then blinks when about to release. A standard mechanical cable release can also be used. The base of the camera contains the built-in dark slide knob and knob lock. Closing and opening the slide allows you to change lenses without wasting an exposure. The lens can not be removed with the dark slide open. When closed the shutter will not release.
Film loading is the semi-automatic type, meaning you have to align the start indicator on the film to an indicator on the camera body. Setting the ISO speed is done by lifting up the outer ring of the shutter speed dial, rotate to the desired setting between 25 to 1600 ISO. Changing to 120 or 220 film requires rotating the pressure plate inside the film back. A memo clip is on the back as a reminder of the film type. Film advance is done manually with an advance crank.
The viewfinder is coupled to the rangefinder. It has bright frame lines that change automatically depending on the mounted lens. Along with frame lines, the finder displays shutter speed with over exposure (blinking triangle), B bulb, LT for long exposure time, underexposure is indicated with (blinking LT). In manual exposure mode, the chosen shutter speed is lit, while the metered speed blinks. A warning LED is on the top right of the frame. It lights when the shutter is not cocked, there is no film loaded, lens mount is collapsed or dark slide is still covered.
