I had an old Mamiya 220 years ago--it was a better camera than I thought at the time. I know several pros who still use their TLRs. I now own a new Mamiya 7--it is a great camera with world-class lenses. I wish now that I'd bought that 645 a friend offered me ten years ago...

Mamiya makes cameras with the professional photographer in mind. I own a 645 and a RB67. These are workhorses. They have a full range of lenses and accessories and also have a very good support team. If you are interested in medium format, you can't go wrong with Mamiya.

I have owned both the C3 & the C330 Professional. Great cameras. I think the twin lens cameras are the best, though I've never owned the SLR like the 645 or the RB67. This company has been around for years and knows how to make very professional cameras. Friends of mine own the Mamyia 7 and they have nothing but praise.

I have a C-220 and a 645 and love them both. The 645 is a great camera for just about anything... but I think the C-220, is slightly sharpe
