The Mamiya C22 was released in 1966 as part of the Mamiya C series of interchangeable lens medium format TLR cameras. It is an improved version of the Mamiya C2, but was also known as a simplified version of the C33. It was replaced by the Mamiya C220 in 1968.
It continued to use a knob advance, but an optional crank was also available. Compared to the C2, the advance was redesigned without the need for a release button and the film speed reminder is no longer part of the knob advance dial. The lens lock knob has also moved to the right side of the body. It was primary designed for 120 film, since the back is removable, 220 film back version were also available. It is also compatible the single exposure sheet film holder.
