In 1975, Mamiya once again pioneered a world first with the Mamiya 645, a versatile and compact medium format SLR with a convenient yet large 6x4.5cm format. This further demonstrated both Mamiya’s ability and singular dedication to providing innovative and rugged professional tools.

The Mamiya RZ67 system followed in 1982. Using the latest technology in electro-mechanical hybrid design, and optical glass formulation and production, Mamiya once again re-enforced their position as the innovative leader in medium format cameras.

Mamiya’s system of innovative, ultra-high performance medium format lens designs including unique achievements in high speed, zoom, PC shift, soft focus and APO telephotos is to this very day unparalleled by any other manufacturer of medium format optics.

In 1989 came the reincarnation of the Mamiya 6 rangefinder concept in a unique, modern, compact, interchangeable lens medium format rangefinder camera, that opened up new possibilities of image quality for photojournalists, fine art photographers and photo enthusiasts who previously relied upon classic 35mm rangefinder cameras.
