| − | | |
| − | The '''Mamiya Six''' is a series of 6×6 folders with a coupled rangefinder, made by [[Mamiya]] from 1940 to the 1950s. All of them are focused by moving the film plane, rather than the more common front-cell focussing of other folders of the time.

| − | == Evolution ==
| |
| − | The first model [[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six I| ('''Mamiya Six I''')]] was advertised in September 1940 and first went on sale in December 1940. Until the end of the World War II, the Mamiya Six was significantly modified at least three times: first in early 1941 ([[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six I|model Ia]]) with two additional improved models introduced in the next two years. Erratically, [[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six III|model III]] was released in 1942<ref>According to the official Mamiya history website [http://www.mamiya.co.jp/home/camera/museum/janru/chu-renjifain.htm| History of Mamiya Six (Mamiya history website)]</ref> before [[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six II|model II]] appeared in 1943. All pre-war and war-time models have a twin set of range finder windows as well as a small, seperate [[Brillant]]-type waist-level viewfinder, resulting in [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Rangefinder Windows| three windows]] at 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 opening to the left. The Mamiya Six III added an exposure counter with double exposure prevention. The pre-war and war-time models were all 6x6 format cameras.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Production of the Mamiya Six was restarted after World War II. The first cameras to be sold were [[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six III|Mamiya Six III]]. It is not clear to what extent these units were assembled from existing spare parts, or whether all are totally new construction. The official Mamiya history states that ¶¶¶
| |
| − | These post-War [[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six III (post war versions)|Mamiya Six III]] were fitted with which was introduced in Takatiho Tokio [[Zuiko]] f/3.5 75mm lenses, which debuted in 1946.<ref>See the lens chronology on the [[Zukio]] page.</ref>
| |
| − | The first <i>new</i> model to appear was the '''[[Mamiya Six IV]]''', introduced in 1947, which dispensed with the waist-level finder. It remained the sole model until 1953. The '''[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six V|Mamiya Six V]]''' added the dual 6×6 and 4.5×6 format capability, with an exposure counter functioning with both formats. The '''[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six K|Mamiya Six K]]''' was a simpler model, with film advance via red windows.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 1955, the '''[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six IVb|Mamiya Six IVb]]''' introduced a squarer body design, easily recognized by the square rangefinder window. Its features were similar to the model IV. The '''[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six K2|Mamiya Six K2]]''' was similar to the model K with the new body. The body design was slightly modified again for the '''[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six IVs|Mamiya Six IVs]]''' and simpler '''[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six P|Mamiya Six P]]'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | From 1955, the '''[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six Automat|Mamiya Six Automat]]''' and the later '''[[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six Automat|Automat 2]]''' added a coupling between the shutter cocking and the film advance.

| − | ===Chronology of Models===
| |
| − | 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]] which provides a dichotomous key as well as a series of illustrations showing the model-specific details.

| − | 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, <b>it is recommended that you follow the steps, rather than scanning for criteria</b>. Once you have identified your model, click on the model name to see a full description.

| − | ==Technical details==
| + | <br> |
| − | :The model of the camera has a slightly larger [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Name Plate | waist level viewfinder]] (12 x 12 mm) than the subsequent models. The round viewfinder window on the front has a serrated edge to it, while it is smooth on the later models. Model I is the only Mamiya Six design with small eyelets for a neck strap. Other characteristics are: a [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Knobs and Struts| solid knurled film winding knob]], a raised button (on the top plate) to release the front door; indicator arrow next to the film counter is a [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Lettering and Labelling| pointed arrow with a thin tail]]; the shutter release button has a rounded top; the [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Flash Shoe | cold shoe for the flash]] is affixed with three screws; the [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Depth of Field Indicator | depth of field indicator]] at the right corner of the top housing ranges from 3.5 to 8; a [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Bottom Plate | bottom plate]] with a strengthened, raised tripod mount held by three screws and flanked by two knobs for the release of the film spools.
| + | <br> |
| − | : The back door is hinged at the right. The supply chamber is on the right and the take up spool on the left. To ensure that the film remains flat even though the film plane moves in and out with the back focussing mechanism, the Mamiya Six has a removable pressure plate. The [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Pressure Plate Support | guide rail for the removable pressure plate]] runs for the length of the film gate and lacks an embossed directional arrow.
| + | <br> |
| − | : All units are covered with black-brown leatherette with exposed chrome top housing and bottom-plate. The Mamiya logo is embossed in the leatherette of the front door, while 'Mamiya-Six' is embossed on the back door, underneath the red window.
| + | <br> |
| − | :Some units of the Mamiya Six I have a double exposure warning system, comprised of a small transparent, red coloured half-pane that would appear in the rangefinder window.<ref> See [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/heritagefutures/5161860453| here]] (Flickr Image)</ref>

| − | Even though numbered Mamiya II, this is in fact the third model to have been introduced. Like the [[Mamiya_Six#Mamiya Six Ia|Mamiya Six Ia]], this model has a red double exposure warning pane in the rangefinder window. The [[Mamiya Six II]] is essentially a Mamiya Six III design without the flash contacts. At least some of the units seen also lack the red double-exposure warning pane in the rangefinder. Thus, in common it also has the slightly smaller [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Name Plate | waist level viewfinder]] (10 x 10 mm) and a smooth rim to the central viewfinder window.

| − | =Post war versions=
| |
| − | When production restarted after the war, some examples of the Mamiya Six III may well have assembled from spare parts. Soon after, however, new bodies were machined, which have slight design variations compared with the pre-War and War-time bodies (→ technical details). These post-war versions can most readily be distinguished by the use of Takatiho Tokio [[Zuiko]] f/3.5 75mm lenses; these lenses, which were later replaced with [[Olympus]] [[Zuiko]] badged versions, were designed in post-World War II and first released in 1946.<ref>See the lens chronology on the [[Zukio]] page.</ref>. An English language manual for the Mamiya Six with a printing date of November 1946 depicts a Mamiya Six III.<ref>Photographica Collection Dirk HR Spennemann</ref>

| |
| − | ==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.
