Description:
The Mamiya C3 series is a professional-level series of twin lens reflex medium
format cameras made in Japan. It was the third
series of TLR cameras made by the company.
Mamiya began to produce 6x6 twin lens reflex
cameras from the late 1940s the first, now very
rare, was a conventional design. In the early 1950's
A and B series TLR cameras were also based on
fixed lens designs. This was quickly followed by
the C series which began in 1956 starting with the
Mamiyaflex C. It broke away from the traditional
TLR designs used by many different manufacturers. One notable distinction of the C series is the
fact that they can use interchangeable lenses—a
feature only found on one other TLR camera, the
Koni-Omegaflex.
