today, i want to talk with you about another classical camera — the Mamiyaflex twin lens series.

these cameras are a direct competitor to the world famous Rolleiflex, and share the same very high quality pedigree and reliability, but with one major difference…the Mamiyaflex is the only twin lens reflex in the world that has interchangeable lenses!

there was a whole range of Mamiyaflex cameras, and the one i am going to talk about today is the Mamiyaflex C220.

the beauty of using these cameras is that they give you that wonderful 6x6cm large negative…what you may ask, is so good about that? well, in photography, the larger the negative, the more quality you get, meaning you can enlarge it to huge sizes and still have fantastic edge to edge sharpness on your photo…try that with a 35mm negative and you’ll soon see the difference!

also, with this camera system, it is very easy to organise and setup your photograph, as the large viewing screen is designed to help you do exactly that.

there are also a huge range of lenses and accessories that allow you to use this camera for virtually any purpose you care to think of, from portraiture, to landscape, to closeup, etc etc.

so today i am offering you a chance to acquire a Mamiyaflex C220 full kit, which comes to you fully tested.

i have replaced the old light seals with brand new guaranteed-for-life material as well, and everything works as it should. the lenses are beautifully clean Sekkor f2.8 80mm, with no fungus, scratch or mark anywhere.

the bellows are in near-new condition and everything that should work is working just fine. by the way, because this acmera uses bellows, it is ideal for portraiture.

the kit includes another set of f4.5 180mm telephoto lenses, a separate viewing prism, set of lens extenders, an electronic flashgun, 2 original lens covers, and a very handy carrying case for all this equipment. very rarely does equipment like this come on offer.

Price: £342.95 plus £26 postage UK, international £48.99

Payment: Paypal, direct bank transfer or cheque (UK only)
