The Mamiya C220 was released in 1968 as part of the Mamiya C series of interchangeable lens medium format TLR cameras. It is an improved version of the Mamiya C22.
The back no longer has the film loaded red window, as it fully supports both 120 and 220 film. It uses a rotating pressure plate inside the back and a switch above the frame counter dial to change between 120 or 220 film. A film format indicator window is also displayed on the back. Multiple exposure is fully supported with a dial on the right hand side of the body. The advance knob has been changed so that the knob now has a folding crank.

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. It does not requires a separate switch to change between 120 and 220 settings. The multi exposure control dial is now surrounding the advanced knob. The advance knob no longer as the folding crank design, but has increased in size and moved downwards towards the centre. The strap lugs are no longer a slot type. The included single action waist level finder no longer has a sport finder mode.
