Mamiya 6 six 6x6 Folding Rangefinder Film Camera

The Mamiya 6 (also known as the Mamiya Six) is a classic 6x6 medium format folding rangefinder film camera, known for its compact, portable design and high-quality optics. Here’s a detailed look at its features:

• Format: Produces 6x6 cm square negatives on 120 roll film, ideal for high-resolution prints with rich detail.
• Lens: Equipped with a fixed, high-quality lens (often a Mamiya-Sekor), usually with a focal length around 75mm and aperture range from f/3.5-f/22. The lens is known for its sharpness and balanced contrast.
• Rangefinder Focusing: The coupled rangefinder provides accurate focusing, with a focusing patch in the viewfinder that makes it easier to get sharp images.
• Folding Design: The lens collapses into the body when not in use, making it very compact and easy to carry, especially compared to other medium format cameras.
• Shutter: Features a leaf shutter, which is generally quieter and allows for flash synchronization at all shutter speeds.
• Manual Controls: Offers manual focus and exposure control, providing full creative control to the photographer.
• Build Quality: Known for its robust metal construction and solid mechanics, the Mamiya 6 was built to be durable and reliable.
