Congratulations on your purchase of the Mamiya 6 MF,
Succeeding the New Mamiya 6, the Mamiya 6 MF is the latest addition to the Mamiya 6 x 6cm format series which has become the world’s standard in the medium format field thanks to Mamiya’s stress on “originality and reliability “two- qualities that have become synonymous with the very name Mamiya.
A combination of Mamiya’s traditional precision workmanship and modern aesthetics, the 6 MF can take photos in any of three formats ( 6 x 6cm, 6 x 4.5cm and the wide panoramic format using an adapter with 135 film ).
Featuring automatic exposure (AE) control, the 6 MF is compact, light weight and exhibits the versatility of a 35mm camera, while assuring high quality medium format pictures, The retractable lens mount, which allows the lens to be partially recessed into the camera body, further adds to the camera’s compactness while protecting the lens.
The 6 MF also comes with three types of high perfomance interchangeable lenses - the standard (75mm),wide angle (50mm), and telephoto (15Omm) - to satisfy a variety of photographic prerequisites.
While the 6 MF has undergone extensive quality control checks, it is extremely important that this manual be read carefully before attempting to use the camera. A thorough understanding of just how and why your new camera work will eliminate potential misuse and ensure a long service life.
