This camera is the only 6x7cm rangefinder system which features interchangeable lenses. With increased demand from pros and advanced 35mm shooters, the unique niche that the Mamiya 7 satisfies with a lightweight, compact 6x7 system is now replaced by an even more versatile model. Additionally, an optional Panoramic Adapter for 35mm film is available to create 24x65mm images with the MAMIYA 7 II, making this a dual-format camera by utilizing both the ideal 6x7cm format and the increasingly popular 24 x 65mm panoramic format (1:2.7 aspect ratio).
