Description:

The Mamiya C3 Professional is a classic medium format Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) camera designed for professional photographers seeking the benefits of medium format film in a compact, manual camera system. Released in the early 1960s, the C3 features a 6x6 cm film format, providing stunning image quality with high detail and dynamic range, making it ideal for studio, portrait, and landscape photography.

The Mamiya-Sekor 105mm f/3.5 lens is a sharp, versatile lens that excels in portraiture and other general photographic uses. With its wide aperture range and solid manual focusing system, it allows photographers full creative control over depth of field and exposure. The lens is known for its high-quality glass, delivering excellent sharpness, contrast, and color rendering.

The C3's twin-lens reflex design allows for waist-level viewing, offering a unique and immersive shooting experience. The camera features a leaf shutter system, ensuring quiet operation and minimal vibration during exposure. Additionally, the Mamiya C3 uses 120/220 film, which allows for multiple exposures on each roll, making it perfect for both portrait and commercial work.

Since the Mamiya C3 does not have a built-in light meter, photographers typically use an external light meter or the sunny-16 rule for exposure settings. The camera’s manual operation also means the photographer has full control over shutter speed, aperture, and focus, providing a true “hands-on” shooting experience.

The Mamiya C3 Professional is known for its build quality, precision engineering, and reliability. It remains a favorite among film enthusiasts and collectors, offering timeless image quality from a well-regarded TLR system.
