Description
The Mamiya 645 is a semi-professional medium format camera system. Mamiya has released 3 different version of the first generation of the 645 system: M645, M645J and M645 1000S. It’s famous among it’s users for being portable and modular. The system supports a wide array of great lenses of which the legendary Sekor C 80mm 1.9 is the fastest medium format lens ever produced. The Mamiya 645 requires a 6V 4SR44 or a 6V 4LR44 battery in order to operate since it uses an electronic controlled shutter. Nevertheless, the electronics are very simple and contribute to the systems popularity. The first generation Mamiya 645 doesn’t accept interchangeable backs mid-roll.
The standard 645 insert, allows you to shoot 15 frames per roll of 120 film.

The lens had a complete revision, which means that it has been disassembled to the last screw, cleaned, and relubricated where needed. The focus is very smooth and the infinity focus has been calibrated. This is an ex-fungus lens. The complete mechanism as well as lens elements have received an antifungal treatment in order to kill any fungal spores.
The lens exterior is in good condition with visible minor usage marks.
The front element of the lens had fungus damage which has affected the coating/ etched the glass (from the edge to the center). Not much noticable impact during shooting wide open in bright sunlight shooting (see photo’s attached). The lens is known to be a bit soft wide open.
Optics are clear and free from fungus, oil and separation.
