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 significantly modified at least three times: in early 1941 (Ia) with 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).  All pre-war and war-time  models have a set of range finder windows and a seperate waist-level [[brillant]]-type finder, resulting in [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Rangefinder Windows| three windows]] in the front. All units have a single red [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Rangefinder Windows| film frame counter window]] counter on the back with a horizontal slider. The pre-war and war-time models were all 6x6 format cameras.

=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.

==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.
