Given the quite erratic nature of model numbering that occurred over the years, the chronology of the thirteen major Mamiya Six models is set out in Table 1. The characteristcs of the individual models, as well as the variants within these models, are described further below. If in doubt about some of the features mentioned in the type descriptions, please refer to the  [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations| visual documentation of the critical elements]].

==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>
 
 
 
<b>Technical details</b> <br>
 
:All units are covered with leatherette. The camera has a slightly larger waist level viewfinder (12 x 12 mm) than the subsequent models. 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]]
 
 
 
<b>Dimensions:</b> <br>
 
:140 x 103 x 51mm (closed), weight 780g.
 
 
 
<b>Lens and shutter combinations:</b><br>
 
: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.
 
*[[Kajiro_Kōgaku|K.O.L.]] Special 75mm f3.5 in  [[NKS]]–TOKIO '0' shutter with T, B, 1-1/200 sec (standard)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
====Mamiya Six Ia====
 
The next iteration, publicised in January 1941<ref><i>Asahi Camera</i> January 1941, February 1941 [http://neco.aki.gs/neco99/neco30/00/mamiya/0310d2.html| Neco's Mamiya page]</ref> saw the use of a larger shutter, which required the redesign of the strut system. <ref>[http://www.mamiya.co.jp/home/camera/museum/saishu-page/1940/mamiya6-1a.htm| Mamiya Six Ia (Mamiya history website)]</ref> The camera sold for ¥298.

=PAGE 2 Mamiya Six Design Variations=
 
 
This page provides a visual overview over those design elements of the [[Mamiya Six]] cameras that permit  an accurate identification of the various variants.
 
 
==Dichotomous Key (model Identification)==
 
 
The Mamiya Six comes in a bewildering range of variants.  The dichotomous key provided below provides an avenue at identifying the types of Mamiya Six. Given the confusing similarity of models and variants, it is recommended that you follow the steps, rather than scanning for criteria. When you have identified your model, click on the model name to see a full description. If you are unclear about one of the criteria, either click on the name or scroll down to the bottom of the page for visual identification guides.
 
 
How many viewfinder windows are on the front?
 
 
[[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Rangefinder Windows| Two]]
 
 
:The right hand, square window is:
 
::Flush with the casing
 
::Surrounded by a small back rim
 
::Surrounded by  small rectangular plate
 
::Surrounded by a rectangular plate that encompasses the left round window as well
 
 
[[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Rangefinder Windows| Three]]
 
:Does the body have triangular neckstrap lugs?
 
::Yes → [[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six I|Mamiya Six I]]
 
::No

[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six III|Mamiya Six III]]
 
[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six II|Mamiya Six II]]
 
 
==Lenses and Shutters==
 
The [[Mamiya Six]] was manufactured in a wide range of lenses and shutters. That holds particularly true for the [[Mamiya_Six#Pre-War_and_War-Time_Models|pre-War and War]] period, when prospective buyers could even bring in their own shutters and lenses to be fitted.
