Mamiyaflex - Good Condition | Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) Camera | Mamiya-Sekor 105mm f/3.5 Interchangeable Prime Lens

The Mamiyaflex (S/N: 98847) is a professional-grade medium format masterpiece, representing a revolutionary chapter in Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) design. Unlike almost every other TLR manufacturer of the era, Mamiya engineered the Mamiyaflex with an interchangeable lens system, allowing photographers to swap focal lengths to suit their creative vision. This specific unit is equipped with the rare and highly regarded Mamiya-Sekor 105mm f/3.5 lens set (Viewing S/N: 981088 / Taking S/N: 962995). The 105mm focal length provides a slightly telephoto "portrait" perspective on the 6x6cm negative, delivering exceptional sharpness and the legendary "Sekor" tonal depth. Built with a robust all-metal bellows-focusing system, the Mamiyaflex offers world-class mechanical precision for the discerning analog professional.

Introductory Paragraph The Mamiyaflex is the definitive "pro" choice in the medium format world. This specific unit (S/N: 98847) features the 105mm lens pairing, which is widely considered the ideal focal length for flattering portraits and tighter landscape compositions. Because it utilizes a bellows-focusing system rather than a rotating lens helicoid, the Mamiyaflex can focus much closer than a Rolleiflex or Yashicamat. The 105mm Sekor glass is famous for its "three-dimensional" rendering, producing a beautiful fall-off from sharp subjects to a creamy, organic background blur. Whether you are working in a controlled studio environment or capturing the natural world, the Mamiyaflex provides the mechanical soul and optical excellence required for gallery-quality imagery.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 98847) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The Mamiya-Sekor 105mm f/3.5 lens set (S/N: 981088 & 962995) is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The Seikosha leaf shutter has been tested and fires accurately across the speed range. The focusing bellows are supple and light-tight. The waist-level finder opens correctly and the ground glass is clean. The film transport and bellows-focusing knobs operate smoothly with appropriate resistance.

Specialist Note "The Mamiyaflex with the 105mm lens is a formidable combination. What I love about this S/N: 98847 is the sheer flexibility; the 105mm Sekor is arguably the sharpest lens in the entire Mamiya TLR lineup. It has a beautiful, classic contrast that makes black and white film truly sing. The bellows system is a joy to use—it lets you get so close to your subject that you can capture incredible detail that other TLRs simply can't reach. It’s a heavy, professional instrument that feels like a tank in the hand. For the photographer who wants the 6x6 format but demands the precision of interchangeable optics, this Mamiyaflex is the gold standard."
