Mamiya lenses are designed and built for today’s foremost photographers who expect their equipment to provide both outstanding and distinctive results. Engineers at Mamiya have developed rigorous performance criteria for each lens design. No detail is overlooked. No test is omitted.

The goal is technical perfection...The result is a series of lenses which have set the new world-standard of performance. Each lens element is precisely polished and coated using Mamiya’s proprietary multi-coating process to increase light transmission, dramatically reduce flare, ensure crisp, clean whites and vibrant, yet natural colors.

Mamiya engineers and inspectors test continuously as the lens is assembled to insure flawless quality. The result is a lens designed so carefully, built so meticulously, that it consistently renders extraordinary performance.

It is Mamiya’s unique balance of extreme sharpness, brilliant contrast, accurate and consistent color fidelity and overall high performance that captures the imagination of contemporary photographers who choose Mamiya to express their personal visions. Among today’s community of world famous photographers, Mamiya lenses have established themselves as the new benchmark by which others are measured.

While all Mamiya lenses can be used on today’s high performance digital backs, the new Mamiya Sekor D series of lenses raise sharpness to a new level. Utilizing exotic Low Dispersion glass and Aspherical lens elements, the Sekor D Digital Lens series produces ultrawide coverage (28mm f4.5), exceptional color accuracy and sharp, contrasty images. And all Mamiya Digital lenses are designed to work with film backs, not only digital backs!

Introducing the RotaCam, finally a camera/flash bracket that makes sense for 645 rectangular format shooters. For on-location photographers, the RotaCam offers adjustable positioning of the flash, while providing a rock-solid platform for the Mamiya 645AFD II and Pro-TL cameras. A unique and convenient sliding arc (or cam) moves the camera from a horizontal to vertical position quickly and easily. Since the camera rotates on its lens axis, there’s no need to re-compose or re-focus, just swing the camera and shoot. Additionally, retractable support feet allow you to place the bracket down on a flat surface.

Mounted on a tripod, the RotaCam provides a simple way to switch from horizontal/vertical position without the need to move the tripod head, which so often causes off-center balancing problems.

Special flash mounting adapters are available for all popular flash manufacturer’s models.

Engineered from high-quality aluminum alloy, the RotaCam is a precision designed and manufactured camera/flash support bracket professional photographers are sure to love.
