| − | ==Pre-War and War-Time Models==
| |
| − | The first model was released in December 1940. In subsesequent years, until the end of the war, the Mamiya Six was modfied in early 1941 (Ia) and two additional models introduced in the next two years. Erratically, Model III was released in 1942 (according to the official Mamiya history website<ref>[http://www.mamiya.co.jp/home/camera/museum/janru/chu-renjifain.htm| History of Mamiya Six (Mamiya history website)]</ref> before Model II (1943). These models have a separate range finder window and a waist-level [[brillant]]-type finder, resulting in three windows in the front. All units have a single red window on the back with a horizontal slider. The pre-war and war-time models were all 6x6 format cameras.

| − | ===Mamiya Six I===
| |
| − | The camera was advertised in September 1940<ref><i>Asahi Camera</i> September 1940 [http://neco.aki.gs/neco99/neco30/00/mamiya/0310d2.html| Neco's Mamiya page]</ref> and released in December 1940 at a price of ¥248<ref>[http://www.mamiya.co.jp/home/camera/museum/saishu-page/1940/mamiya6-1.htm| Mamiya Six I (Mamiya history website)]</ref> The camera door was supported by three struts. All units are covered with leatherette. The film respool knob is a [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Knobs and Struts| solid knurled knob]]. The indicator arrow next to the film counter is a [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Lettering and Labelling| pointed arrow with a thin tail]] Dimensions: 140 x 103 x 51mm (closed), weight 780g.

| − | Interestingly, Mamiya offered purchasers to bring their own lenses, which would be installed in the '0' shutters. This resulted in a range of known shutter combinations.
