Here’s the original Mamiya Six, before they were made out of plastic. It is a unique camera that has bellows, focuses from the film plane rather than the lens, and has a small built-in waist level finder. All in all it is a very functional and interesting camera that folds up into a neat package.
This one has a few condition issues. The film plane in the rear focus system is not flat, it rides at an angle while focusing and it cannot get a flat focusing plane without repair. The rear element of the lens has several small cleaning marks that will likely soften your images slightly. The leatherette is pulled up in some areas (see photos). The shutter is a bit slow on the slow speeds.
This camera will need repair before it can be shot. Otherwise, it would be a good display piece.
