Medium Fonnat Cameras


A history of Mamiya
medium format cameras.
For over 50 years, Mamiya has been a name synonymous with excellence and innova-
tion in professional photographic cameras and lenses. Mamiya's dedication to the pro-
fessional and advanced amateur markets spans from the folding, compact original
Mamiya 6 rangefinder of the 1940's to the 1994 introduction of the RZ67 PRO II , the
system of choice for many of today's world famous professionals.
The Mamiya RB67 series, the world's first medium format 6x7cm single lens reflex with
unique revolving back, was first introduced in 1970. Its unique built-in revolving back and
bellows focusing made it an instant success that has lasted to a present day world-wide
status as the "workhorse of the pros."
In 1975, Mamiya once again pioneered a world first with the Mamiya 645, a versatile
and compact medium format SLR with a convenient yet large 6x4.5cm format. This fur-
ther demonstrated both Mamiya's ability and singular dedication to providing innovative
and rugged professional tools.
The Mamiya RZ67 system followed in 1982, using the latest tech-
nology in electro-mechanical hybrid design, and optical glass formu-
lation and production.
Mamiya's system of innovative, ultra-high performance medium
format lens designs including unique achievements in high speed,
zoom, PC shift, soft focus and APO telephotos is to this very day
unparalleled by any other manufacturer of medium format optics.
1989 saw the reincarnation of the Mamiya 6 rangefinder concept in
a unique, modern, compact, interchangeable lens medium format
rangefinder camera, that opened up new possibilities of image qual-
ity for photojourna lists, fine art photographers, and photo enthusi-
asts who previously relied upon classic 35mm rangefinder cameras.
Mamiya's history of innovation and dedication to excellence is further
shown with the 1992 introduction of the 645 PRO camera. The
Mamiya 6M F (Mu lti-Format) camera and 645 Series 300mm f/28 APO
lens appeared in 1993, and the RZ67 PRO II and 645 Series 500mm f/4.5 APO in 1994.
Mamiya continues to be a pioneer by continually improving and refining the finest pro-
fessional photographic products with state-of-the-art advancements such as superior
apochromatic lens technology and practical, ergonomic camera design and function.
For over fifty years, Mamiya medium format cameras and lenses have bee~ designed and precision

manufactured for the most dema'r!ding professional applications. With unique camera designs,

lenses and innovations, Mamiya continues to earn its reputation as "master of the medium."

Medium format is the modern choice of today's most dis-


criminating photographers. It combines the demand for
unexcelled image quality with the need for convenient and
versatile camera operation.

Take a close look at the three basic Mamiya medium for-


mats in comparison to standard 35mm format as illustrated:

6x4.5cm - An image area 2.7 times larger than 35mm, An


"ideal format" allowing more compact camera design
riva ling the size and convenience of most 35mm SLRs,
35mm Negative

6x6cm - An area 3,6 times greater than 35mm and 2,7 times greater when cropped to
a 6x4,5cm vertical or horizontal rectangle, A symmetrical format that offers versatility in
framing and cropping after exposure,

6x7cm - An image area 4,5 times greater th an 35mm, w ith a detailed negative large
enough to view with the naked eye, The "ideal format" based upon the traditional 8x1 0
proportion, matching page layout and printing papers,

most renowned photographers and artists because of its large 6x7cm ideal format neg-
ative size, over four and a half times larger than 35mm. Also notable are the RZ's ultra-
high performance lenses, and multi-format versatility. Distinctive features include
convenient revolving back, bellows focusing, big and bright view-finder, and exten-
sive system of accessories.

The Mamiya RZ67 PRO II's multi-format capability offers an impressive choice of
interchangeable film magazines including 6x4.5cm, 6x6cm and 6x7cm, economical
6x7cm preloadable fi lm inserts, plus
Polaroid Instant Proofing back.

The Mamiya RZ67 PRO II is a


versatile modular system cam-
era for the most demanding
commercial photog raph ic appli-
cations including advertis ing ill ustration,
fashion, beauty, industrial, portrait and
architecture. Mamiya RZ Series lenses
have ultra-precision timed, fully synched,
electromagnetic leaf shutters, with spe-
cialty optics including Shift, variable flat
field Macro, Zoom, Fisheye, and a spec-
tacular series of telephoto APO lenses.
