Mamiya's twin-lens reflex — TLR medium format with interchangeable lens pairs for 6x6 film.
The Mamiya C220 is a twin-lens reflex (TLR) medium format camera using 6x6cm film with interchangeable lens pairs — unique among TLRs. Unlike fixed-lens Rolleiflexes, the Mamiya C-series accepts different focal length pairs from 55mm to 250mm.
TLR design — separate viewing and taking lenses. The waist-level finder provides a bright composing image. Bellows focusing enables close-up work without accessories. Interchangeable lens pairs (viewing + taking) from 55mm to 250mm. Leaf shutters in taking lenses.
6x6cm on 120 film. Interchangeable lens pairs. Bellows focusing. Waist-level finder. Multiple lens options. No metering — external meter required. The C220 is more affordable than the C330 with simpler construction.
Available used at budget to mid-range prices. The interchangeable lens TLR concept is unique to Mamiya. Check bellows for light leaks and lens shutters for accuracy. A creative and affordable medium format option. The C330 is more robust but heavier.
