Whats the difference between the Mamiya 645 Super and Pro?
645 Pro. The 645 Pro was introduced in April 1992. The most important difference in the features of the Pro and Super is that the Pro does not have a mechanically-timed shutter speed, so the camera cannot be used at all with an exhausted battery.

Does Mamiya 645 Super have a light meter?
The Mamiya 645 Pro was manufactured from 1993 to 1998. This was an entry-level version of the M645 Pro without switchable backs or viewfinders. It did have a light meter built in to the viewfinder, however. The standard lens was the 80mm f/2.8 N or the 80mm f/1.9 N.
Is the Mamiya 645 fully mechanical?
The Mamiya C series TLRs are fully mechanical. Some of the Mamiya 645 cameras can use a battery holder that allows you to keep the battery itself inside a jacket or other protected environment. The electronic shutters themselves have an advantage in cold weather – they are not as prone to slowing down.

Are Mamiya lenses any good?
“Conclusion: All the Mamiya AF lenses performed outstandingly, on a par with or better than other medium-format autofocusing lenses we’ve tested. Overall handling was nice (no aperture rings!), switching between manual and autofocus was easy, and most important, our pictures were very sharp.

He informed me that 220 will fit — but to be careful about the back film count window! 220 film is almost exactly the same as 120 film, but there are two important differences: (1) It’s twice as long. (2) It has no backing paper.
How does the Mamiya M645 camera work?
Most SLR cameras operate via a prism system and mirror. The mirror moves out of the way when you press the shutter to let light in and capture the image. You can use this type of camera in portrait, macro, theater, wildlife, and surveillance photography. Because the Mamiya M645 is a medium-format camera, it can take 120 and 220 film.
Can I use the Mamiya 645 Super for film photography weddings?
The modular M645 design means I can also use multiple film backs. This means I can reload film faster during a busy wedding or use 2 backs with different film types. I now plan to use the Mamiya 645 Super alongside my 35mm Leica M3 film cameras for film photography weddings.
