The Mamiya DM22 & DM28
Affordable professional solutions for those who are not satisfied with “Good Enough”
Professional Image
Mamiya delivers what has previously been considered unattainable-a true professional digital camera system at exceptionally affordable prices. The Mamiya DM22 and DM28 offer many of the features of their more expensive siblings, allowing almost any photographer affordable access to a truly professional digital camera system.
For years, many professional photographers have been relegated to consumer-like DSLR systems, simply due to the high cost of recognized pro-level digital equipment.
Mamiya, known as the brand of the working pro, has recognized photographers’ desire to own true pro-level digital photography equipment in order to deliver exceptional quality photographs, along with an impression of professionalism that a DSLR cannot exude.
Umcompromising Images
As a professional photographer, you know that there is no substitute for top quality digital files. With the Mamiya DM22 and DM28, you can be confident that premium-quality 22 and 28 megapixel sensors, and true 16 bit/channel Raw files will result in richly detailed images that leave a vibrant and lasting impression for both you and your clients. Process your files using using Capture One™, Leaf Capture™, or Adobe Lightroom™, the widest variety of professional processing software options available.
Proven Professionalism
For over 50 years, Mamiya has been a name synonymous with excellence and innovation in professional photographic cameras and lenses. Mamiya’s dedication to the professional and advanced amateur markets, through reliability and
unique design, has made Mamiya the choice of professional photographers throughout the world.
Proven Modular Systems
The Mamiya DM22 and DM28 continue Mamiya’s reputation of perfecting the professional modular camera system for the ultimate in versatility. Mix-and-match components as needed—perhaps a traditional DM configuration today using one of 15 Mamiya world-class optics; then if you wish, use it with a
Mamiya RZ camera system tomorrow (via optional adapter). With Mamiya, an affordable price does not mean you have to sacrifice flexibility.
The Mamiya DM22 and DM28 will begin shipping on November, with estimated street prices of $9995, and $14,990, respectively.
With an angle of view of 33 degrees, this lens is equivalent to a 73mm focal length in 35mm format. Pinpoint sharpness with manual focusing is confirmed from infinity to 1:1 magnification with a green diode in the 645AFD III/II viewfinder. This lens provides a flattering perspective suitable for tight portraits, and permits good working distances in or out of the studio. It can be used for anything from extreme detailed close-ups to full-length portraits. The lens is manually focused (MF) and utilizes focus confirmation in the Mamiya 645AFD III and 645AFD II bodies plus auto-diaphragm operation.
Anomalous dispersion optical glass is employed to reduce chromatic aberrations, which results in APO-quality lens performance when focused from infinity to 1:2 magnification, and significantly reduces chromatic aberration from 1:2 to 1:1 magnification. The optical engineering and multi-coatings of this lens achieve excellent color balance, high contrast and high resolution over the entire focusing range, which is an extraordinary accomplishment for a Macro lens. The barrel design reduces flare significantly.
Mamiya uses eco-glass, which contains no lead or arsenic, maintaining the company’s "Earth-friendly, Nature-friendly" policy.
The Sekor MF 120mm f/4 D utilizes a 16 bit CPU that allows easy firmware upgrading, finer lens characteristic correction and faster, more reliable communication between the lens, camera body and digital back.
