The Mamiya 645AFD III employs a new, powerful and silent coreless motor that makes its auto focus system faster and quieter than ever before. A new focusing algorithm provides precise focusing under a wide range of lighting situations. To further improve focusing control, the focusing point is user-selectable and can be positioned in the center, right or left side of the screen or can be set on “auto” to let the camera focus on the closest subject.

Mamiya pioneered the world’s first true cross-platform film or digital camera, and includes its latest MSCE (Mamiya Serial Communication for External) data transfer technology in the 645AFD III. All critical exposure and shooting information is internally exchanged between the camera and compatible digital camera backs. Whether you’re shooting film or digital, it’s the most affordable and technologically advanced medium format camera available. The 645AFD III is loaded with 36 custom functions.

Individual camera preferences such as 1/3, 1/2 or full aperture/shutter speed increments, flash synch speed, dial functions, exposure compensation increments, bracketing sequence, dial direction setting and much more are easily set and recalled in a snap. In addition, separate user configurations can be set and recalled on-the-fly when several photographers are using the same camera.

Dedicated "Quick Action" buttons have also been designed into the 645AFD III for fast activation of such functions as multiple exposures, auto-bracketing, key lock, auto exposure lock and auto focus lock. The Mamiya 645AFD III combines sophisticated advanced features, integrated microprocessor controlled electronics, enhanced performance and the quality of medium format film or digital capture with the power of proven World-Class Mamiya autofocus optics.

The Sekor AF 80mm f/2.8 Lens has an angle of view of 47 degrees, this lens is equivalent to a 50mm lens in 35mm format. This is the standard lens for the format, with a field of view approximating natural human sight. It is the most general-purpose lens in the series, and works well in various applications for close or distant subjects. Packing high performance into a compact, lightweight configuration, it is well corrected for distortion, producing a natural, well-balanced image.

The Leaf Aptus 65S  provides high value for the versatile portrait photographer. The Leaf Aptus 65S captures at 1 second per frame, or 60 frames per minute. Burst depths are now unlimited, and portable shooting is an unparalleled 53 frames per minute. The Leaf Aptus 65S is a 28 Megapixel back, with a CCD size of 6144 x 4622 pixels.
