| − |
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | = History =
| |
| − | 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 U.S. Patent (nº 2,305,301) was granted on 15 December 1942, but, because of the state of war between the USA and Japan, was vested in the Alien Property Custodian.<ref>Focussing Device 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 6×6 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]]'''.

The characteristcs of the individual models, as well as the variants within these models, are described further below.

| − | 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.

| − | | |
| − | == Technical details ==
| |
| − | 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.
