The '''Mamiya Six''' is a series of 6&times;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.

The brain behind the development of the Mamiya Six was the inventor [[Seiichi Mamiya]].  His camera design departed from the common method of front cell focussing. In order to be able to control the camera when looking through the rangefinder while maintaining a steady hold,<ref> Seiichi Mamiya had field an earlier application with the British Patent Office (for an improvement in single lens reflex cameras) again emphasising the need to be bale to maintain control when focussing. While that application was successful, the patent was not granted as Mamiya failed to pay the sealing fee: "Improvements In Or Relating To Photographic Cameras. Patent GB326688. Filed 17 April 1929;  Published 20 March 1930.[[http://www.wikipatents.com/GB-Patent-326688/improvements-in-or-relating-to-photographic-cameras | GB-Patent-326688/]]</ref> he designed a method that allowed the film plane to move in relation to the lens. He filed his invention on 1 July 1939 in Japan<ref>Japanese utility model publication (実用新案出現広告) no.S15-14673. Applied for (出現) on Jul. 1, 1939 and published (公告) on Oct. 5, 1940.</ref>, on ¶¶ 1940 in the United Kingdom<ref>Improvements In And Relating To Focusing Devices For Portable Photographic Cameras.

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 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 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 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 [[Zuiko]] 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&times;6 and 4.5&times;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.

==Dichotomous Key to aid  identification of models==
 
−
 
 
−
The Mamiya Six comes in a bewildering range of variants.  The following 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 be taken to 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.

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.

−
== Technical details ==
 
−
:Like the Mamiya Six III from which this model is derived, the Six II has a smaller waist level finder (10 x10 mm) and the dimpled  shutter release button. The [[Mamiya_Six_Design_Variations#Pressure Plate Support | guide rail for the removable pressure plate]] runs for the length of the film gate and now exhibits an embossed directional arrow.

As with the Mamiya Ia, this version of the Mamiya II allowed to use the larger (type '0', 58mm) shutters, which required to use a simplified two-strut mechanism for the front door. This version was designed for photographers who wished to have faster (and thus usually larger diameter) shutters or have their own shutter and lens combinations installed.<ref>Mamiya History Pages, [http://www.mamiya.co.jp/home/camera/museum/saishu-page/1940/mamiya6-2a.htm | Mamiya Six IIa]</ref>

The camera was introduced in ¶¶ 1947.<ref><i>Asahi Camera</i> ¶¶¶¶¶  [http://neco.aki.gs/neco99/neco30/00/mamiya/0310d2.html| Neco's Mamiya page]</ref> It was a major redesign of the camera, dispensing with the small waist-level viewfinder. That space was taken up by a newly designed range-finder mechanism, which had been developed by  Mamiya in March 1947.<ref>''Mamiya. A History of Innovation. Mamiya 50th Anniversary''.

As part of the export drive tightly managed by the U.S. administration,<ref>Japanese camera manufacturers were gradually allowed to trade freely with overseas countries. For example, unregulated export to the U.S.A, France, India and Hong Kong commenced in August 1947 (''Mamiya. A History of Innovation. Mamiya 50th Anniversary''. Produced by the Mamiya-History of Innovation Editorial Committee. Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo: Mamiya Camera Co. Ltd. p. 5).</ref>.Mamiya cameras were sold overseas in large quantities<ref>For example, the first order to Hawai'i was shipped in April 1948 and to Canada in November 1949. The European market (Italy, Switzerland) was opened up by April 1950  (''Mamiya. A History of Innovation. Mamiya 50th Anniversary''. Produced by the Mamiya-History of Innovation Editorial Committee. Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo: Mamiya Camera Co. Ltd. p. 5-6).</ref> and less so on the domestic market<ref>Unlike with the early  [[Konica_(I),_II_and_III|Konica I]] models, we do not have any Mamiya Six copies with an engraved CPO [Central Purchasing Office] mark. The Mamiya company history notes that by April 1949 business with the PX system was thriving. It is possible that by the then CPO marking had been abandoned. (''Mamiya. A History of Innovation. Mamiya 50th Anniversary''. Produced by the Mamiya-History of Innovation Editorial Committee. Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo: Mamiya Camera Co.

Produced by the Mamiya-History of Innovation Editorial Committee. Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo: Mamiya Camera Co.

A History of Innovation. Mamiya 50th Anniversary''. Produced by the Mamiya-History of Innovation Editorial Committee. Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo: Mamiya Camera Co. Ltd. p. 5.</ref>. These orders and the steady growth of the export market saw the monthly production of Mamiya Six IV models rise from 600 units per month in November 1950 to 1,500 units in March 1953.<ref>''Mamiya.

A certain black-market trade (by servicemen stationed in Japan) seems to have existed in countries where formal imports did not occur until later.<ref>Mamiya IV (or III?) were sold on the private market in Australia, probably  as bring-back items by servicemen stationed in post-World War II Japan.

:The top of the camera housing has retained the same curved shape as that of the [[Mamiya Six III]], but the redesign of the rangefinder saw Mamiya dispensing with the small [[Brillant]]-type waist level viewfinder. as a result, the front housing has only two windows, a square viewfinder window, which is surrounded by a small rectangular plate, and the small round rangefinder control window.
 
−
:In keeping with the directives of the U.S. administration of Japan, Mamiya cameras produced between 1947 and 1949 were marked "[[Made in Occupied Japan| Made in Occupied Japan]]." The early variants had this statement prominently engraved into bottom of the metal housing, but the later production was allowed to  use text embossed into the leather covering of the door catch.<ref>The same, for example, was required on the early  [[Konica_(I),_II_and_III|Konica I]] models.

The Mamiya Six-K was introduced in August 1954 as a popular, lower priced version of Mamiya 6-V.  It lacks not only  the  automatic film winding stop but also lacks the red double exposure warning pane  in the viewfinder, which had been a characteristic of the earlier models.

−
The front range finder windows of the Mamiya Six-K resemble those of the [[Mamiya IV]] (a round window at the left and a rectangular window on the right, surrounded by a small screwed-on frame). the margins of the frame of the Mamiya Six K are narrower than those of the [[Mamiya IV]].<ref>The design has been taken from the [[Mamiya IV]]  as the  [[Mamiya V]] has a long a long plate supporting BOTH the circular and the rectangular window.</ref> The name tag of the camera is ¶¶¶ The catch for the film door opens upwards, rather than downwards as was the case with the earlier Mamiya Six models.

It is quite probably that this is a human manufacturing error (based on the serial number data compiled so far, a number like 39616 is more plausible), or that the numbering for the Mamiya Six K was restarted.—The Lens and shutter combination on the unit is somewhat unusual. The Combination of Toko f/3.5 75mm with [[Tōkyō Kōgaku]] RECTUS shutter can be found on the [[http://neco.aki.gs/neco99/neco30/00/tokyo/flex0042.html| PrimoFlex IB]]. Until more units with this shutter combination come to light, we may have to assume that this is a post-market custom modification.</ref>

=PAGE FOURTEEN -- Mamiya Six Design Variations=
 
−
 
 
−
This page provides a visual overview over the various design elements of the [[Mamiya Six]] series of folding cameras. The images have been provided to allow the use  an accurate identification of the various models and variants. You are strongly advised to use the [[Mamiya Six#Dichotomous Key to aid the identification of models| dichotomous key]] provided on the main [[Mamiya Six]] page, as this will guide you in  the identification of models.

−
==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. '''Note''' that the lens and shutter combinations have been arranged ''alphabetically'', not chronologically.

==Leather Cases==
 
−
The leather cases for the Mmaiya Six were made by suppliers using wooden lasts.<ref> See this [http://www.3ayak.org/yazi/mamiya-70-yasinda | blog post] for a picture of a last.</ref> Over time modifications in the camera design, as well as changed specifications (e.g. for the case to be opened forward, rather than backward) led to variations in case design.<ref> We need to be conscious that the observations reported here are based on the leather cases that came with the cameras some fifty to seventy years after they were produced. There is a small possibility that in the intervening years a camera may have been furnished with a case from a different Mamiya model. This can, and will, eventually be ruled out with a greater sample size.</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
At present the case seen for the [[Mamiya Six I]] is similar to that illustrated for the [[Mamiya Six III#War-time version | Mamiya Six III (war time version)]], except that it lacks all embossing ad that the fastening screw has a simple screw only (and not the characteristic metal bar). The case seen for the [[Mamiya Six II]] is again similar, replete with the appropriate cut-out for the red window (under the flap), but the case is embossed 'Zeiss Ikon.'<ref>And there is no Zeiss Ikon camera design that has that specific red window configuration. we have to assume that the embossing is a custom job.</ref>
