A revised version was released in 1982 as the C220f. The film format counter setting is adjusted automatically with the rotation of the pressure plate in the back. It does not requires a separate switch to change between 120 and 220 settings. The film back lock has changed. It requires a separate knob on the left hand side of the body. To operate, it requires pressing the knob while moving the leaver underneath downward. The film counter is reset to zero when the back opens. The multi exposure control dial is no longer a separate knob, it now surrounds the advanced knob. The advance knob no longer has the folding crank design, but has increased in size and moved downwards towards the centre of the body. The strap lugs are no longer a slot type. The included single action waist level finder no longer has a sport finder mode, but it is completely enclosed when using the magnifier.
