MAMIYA – 6 (SIX) WITH 7.5 cm f 3.5 ) OLYMPUS ZUIKO LENS. MEDIUM FORMAT RANGEFINDER CAMERA . ALL WORKING.
A good working example of version IV of this camera from 1947-1952. This camera is notable and unusual for the design of its focusing mechanism. Instead of moving the lens back and forth on the bellows to focus, the film is moved back and forth in the film plane The lens therefore stays in a fixed position. An unusual and collectable folding bed camera that takes 12 square exposures (6×6) on 120 roll  film.
1 The shutter is working crisply on all speeds and the apertures are rust and oil free2 The lens  has the usual small amount of dust particles common in vintage optics and there is some coating deterioration in the form of small spots on the front optic. That said the lens will still yield acceptable results and these  faults are not obvious to an unaided visual inspection.3 The bellows are in good order4 The rangefinder spot is strong and the focusing is accurate.
