Special Features of the Mamiya 645 PRO TL

1. Image Area about 3X larger than 35mm Format

- Bigger is better --

The 6X4.5cm image size is about 3x larger than 35mm and therefore produces far superior results. It is large enough to be viewed without magnifier and its aspect ratio of about 1.25 (long side : short side) matche s the standard 8 x 10 inch “ideal format”, the most popular in photography and industrial use. It requires minimum cropping and gives maximum film utilization. (15 or 30 exposures on 120 or 220 film respectively)

2. BodyRugged, Versatile and Reliable Camera

- Built for professional use --

Mamiya pioneered the 645 SLR camera system in 1975 to create medium format image quality with 35mm handling ease. New models have periodically followed over the years to keep in step with mechanical, optical and electronic advances

3. Interchangeable Rollfilm Holder System

-120, 220, 35mm, 35mm Panoramic and Polaroid --Permits quick film change, even in mid-roll. Many fail safe features prevent accidental exposures or film waste.
