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.
