Film Friday - The Mamiya 645 & 645J episode

This week I talk about the Mamiya 645's I recently bought, what they're like to use and more importantly what's the 645 format like?

Mamiya had such a great line of professional cameras. Thanks for the memories!

You're welcome

Just remember to always check the body dial when using the prism finder with it's own dial in case you've left the body on bulb 😁

[@GraemeSimpsonPhotography]

Haha certainly noted

[@garethjones5068]

Really useful video thankyou 🙏

Did you clean up the 80mm lens yourself? Any links to a guide on how to do this? I've got this lens and it needs a big clean up. Looks a great camera...

[@GraemeSimpsonPhotography]

I did do it myself. You need something like this lens tool amzn.to/39AZaU9 to unscrew the back of the lens. I didn't follow any guide as such but I did Google what would be a good cleaning solution which escapes me right now. just take your time, make a note of where each of the lens pieces came from, make a note of where the lens is screwed down etc

[@Lumuification]

@@GraemeSimpsonPhotography OK thanks. I've got the tool. The focus is also stuck on the lens so I'll have to sort that too. Probably just a case of cleaning the helicoid and re-greasing. The lens only cost me £25...

@@Lumuification bargain! Worth having a go at fixing it at that price
