#MAMIYA 7 II OCCASION MANUAL#

The camera also has a 135 panoramic adapter, which allows you to shoot 54x24mm panoramic images on 35mm film. The mask sits horizontally in front of the film plane, meaning you literally get just as many shots as when shooting 6Г—6, just cropped down to a 6Г—4.5 aspect ratio. Essentially, with the Mamiya 6 MF, you can get a 6Г—4.5 mask to insert into the camera (donвЂ™t, itвЂ™s really useless). The big difference between the 6 and the 6 MF is the вЂњ MFвЂњ, which stands for Multi-Format. If you can get your hands on either, do it. As already mentioned, this Mamiya 6 MF was a revision to the Mamiya 6 and launched in 1994. The Mamiya 6 and Mamiya 6 MF have a limited but robust ecosystem surrounding them. I should say, donвЂ™t confuse this with the original Mamiya Six 120 folding cameras from the 1940s and 1950s. This dial goes from 1/500s to 4s with a bulb option, and then two markings for A and AEL. Aperture is controlled on the lens, as is typical for a rangefinder, with a shutter speed dial on the top of the camera.

This lies just below the exposure dial.ДЄlthough the Mamiya 6 MF is a manual focus camera, it does have an option for aperture priority metering. With a locking exposure compensation dial, itвЂ™s amazingly easy to make this correction, just set it and forget it, no need to worry about bumping the dial randomly. If youвЂ™re using filters, youвЂ™ll need to know the filter factor in order to accurately expose. The camera has a built-in light meter with a centre-weighted averaging system that works through the viewfinder. Handling and use in the fieldДЄs I have mentioned, the Mamiya 6 MF is a manual focus rangefinder camera but due to its size, heft, and the heavily weighted focus rings on its lenses, donвЂ™t expect it to be as quick and easy as, say, a Leica.Дespite this, it remains easy to use in the field and is a well-handling camera. IвЂ™d argue that the Mamiya 6 MF system is one of the smallest and lightest modern 6Г—6 вЂ“ and potentially medium format overall вЂ“ camera systems ever made. Not lighter, because, you know, the conservation of matter and all, but oh boy is it nice when trying to put the camera in a bag. With the push of a button, the whole mount and lens slide back into the main body of the camera, which makes it even smaller. Yup, you heard that right, the lens mount retracts.
