Q u i c k

Although the Mamiya 6 MF is a 6 x 6cm format camera, its versatility is comparable to that of a 35mm camera and allows for fast operation, thus serving particularly well for covering wedding, parties, sports as well as a host of other photographic venues.

Double-lmage Superimposing Rangefinder/Precise and Accurate

Focusing has been enhanced and errors substantially elimi- nated due to the rangefinder’s long 60mm base, while the precision ground pentaprism guarantees the clearest and most crisp photos possible. When mounting any one of the three lenses, the corresponding frames in the field of view in the viewfinder are automatically selected, and parallax is automatically compen- sated for.

LED Display/A Variety of Safety Features

The user will find all relevant data on LED display - correct shutter speed, as well as over or under exposure indication. A blinking red LED signals when an erroneous photographic step has been taken.

A self-timer with a 10 second delay and electronic flash synchronization at all shutter speeds are additional features.

Wide Angle, Standard and Telephoto Lenses

The high contrast, color balance and resolving power of Mamiya multi-coated, high performance lenses reflect the latest optical discoveries. The short flange focal distance design of these lenses contributes substantially to their outstanding quality.

The wide angle lens, in particular, transmits large amounts of peripheral light, resulting in corner to corner sharpness. The image quality produced by these new Mamiya lenses is unsur- passed, regardless of the subject matter - be it landscape, aerial, industrial, scientific, fashion or portrait photography.
