Mamiya 6MF manual Mounting lens, Removing lens, Changing lens

[Mounting lens]

Remove the front and rear lens caps.

a The front lens cap can be removed by pressing in the tabs on the right and left with your fingers and pulling the cap towards you.

*The rear lens cap can be removed by rotating it counterclockwise.

[Removing lens]

Like removing the camera body cap, while pressing in the lens release button (B), rotate the lens in the direction of the arrow until the lens alignment dot is lined up with the white alignment dot (D) on the camera body.

Changing lens

When changing lens, pull out the retractable mount and proceed to the action mode.

•Through mounting the lens is possible with the mount retracted, removing it is not possible. (Inter- locks!)

t When the mount is retracted, or if the light baffle is open when trying to remove the lens, the lens release button will not work, preventing lens re- lease.

+ Particularly when mounting the 50mm lens, take care so that the rear rim of the lens does not touch the body’s rangefinder coupling cam.

*When the lens has been removed and film remains in the camera body, avoid exposure to direct sunlight as film fogging may result.

Align Lens Alignment Dot (E) With the Camera Alignment Dot (D). Insert the lens into the camera body. Then turn the lens in the direction of the arrow until it clicks and locks into place.

[CAUTION]

Gold Plated Electronic contacts are provided inside the retractable mount and at the rear of each lens. If oil, dirt, or other foreign matter collects on the contacts poor electronic information transfer may result. When soiled, use a piece of clean cloth to wipe them thoroughly before installing the lens. Also, use the utmost care so as not to touch them. (Position the front face of the lens which has been removed as shown in the photo.)
