MAMIYA
\nMANUAL MEDIUM FORMAT LENSES<\/h1>\n\t

TOP QUALITY AT SCRAP PRICES<\/h3>\n

MAMIYA is good enough for PHASE ONE – which is currently (2022) the Rolls-Royce among cameras – with prices of \u20ac30,000 and more, and that only for the camera body. After a long period of cooperation, PHASE ONE took a 45% stake in MAMIYA in 2009 and then bought it out completely in 2016.<\/p>\n

MAMIYA also dominated the medium format camera market for a long time together with HASSELBLAD, with the highest quality.<\/p>\n

Both testify that MAMIYA plays in the top league.<\/p>\n

Manual lenses from that time are still very, very good by today’s standards and can be had on eBay for absolute bargain prices.<\/p>\n

SONY A 6600 with MAMIYA 210mm f4<\/h3>\n

MAMIYA lenses can be easily attached to mirrorless cameras with adapters.<\/p>\n

Here on my SONY APS-C camera, which increases the focal length to 315mm due to the crop factor.<\/p>\n

I paid \u20ac180 for my MAMIYA 210mm f4 in 2019 and I still see these prices on eBay today (2022).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\t

ADAPTER M645-NEX<\/h3>\n

This adapter currently costs \u20ac89.90 for SONY E-Mount.<\/p>\n

On eBay just enter “M645-NEX” – then the corresponding offers come up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"2\"\n\t

Shots<\/h2>\n

Characteristic for this telephoto lens from MAMIYA are the sharpness from open aperture to the far corners and the buttery soft bokeh:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"210mmf4_Venus\"\n\t\t\t\t\"210mmf4_Bokeh\"\n\t\t\t\t\"210mm_f4\"\n\t

About the shots:<\/h2>\n

All three pictures were taken with my SONY A7R III, all at open aperture (f4).<\/p>\n

The resolution here on the website does not allow an evaluation, of course.<\/p>\n

I always use the test chart when I am in doubt about a lens. The 210mm f4 passed with flying colors, with top scores for sharpness, vignetting, distortion. Only achromatic aberration is visible, which then gradually disappears when stopped down.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\t

MAMIYA 210mm f4 on
\nHASSELBLAD 907X & CFV II 50C (digital)<\/h3>\n

Hasselblad lenses are very, very expensive. Currently (2022), there is also no lens around 200mm. Hasselblad’s longest telephoto lens is only 135mm.<\/p>\n

And the XCD 135mm f2.8 costs over \u20ac4,000 . . . .<\/p>\n

I found the adapter only at FOTODIOX, with \u20ac 280 sensitively more expensive than the SONY E-mount adapter.<\/p>\n

But the MAMIYA 210mm f4 is not my only lens from MAMIYA and with the price difference to Hasselblad it pays off of course.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"HassyMit210mm\"\n\t\t\t\t\"80mm19\"\n\t

WHICH MAMIYA LENSES ARE RECOMMENDABLE?<\/h3>\n

I bought the 80mm f1.9 pictured here in 2019 for \u20ac200 – but the price is now (2022) already around \u20ac800.<\/p>\n

After all, the 80mm f1.9 from Hasselblad cost almost six times as much in September 2022 at \u20ac4,500.<\/p>\n

Other recommended lenses are the 45mm f2.8 and the 150mm f3.5. The kit lens with 80mm and f2.8 also cuts a good figure.<\/p>\n
