Mamiya 645 Pro + Sekor 80mm & 300mm Two-Lens Kit

Medium format as a system you assemble, not a camera you buy.

The 645 Pro is the middle child of Mamiya's modular 645 line, sitting between the 645 Super it refined and the 645 Pro TL that followed, and it is the one that got the system right. Body, lens, finder, film back, winder grip: every piece detaches and swaps, so the camera in your hands is whatever combination the shoot needs. A 6×4.5 negative is the most economical medium format: fifteen frames on a roll of 120, with a portrait-shaped frame that maps cleanly onto print and magazine page.

The heart of it is the electronic focal-plane shutter, 4 seconds to 1/1000, and the M645 bayonet that opens onto one of the deepest medium-format lens ranges ever built. The standard 80mm f/2.8 is the classic walk-around; the 80mm f/1.9 is the fast portrait glass that made the system famous.

Metering is the part newcomers trip on: there is none in the body. Fit the AE Prism Finder and you get TTL metering and aperture-priority automation; fit the waist-level hood and you're metering by hand or by eye. That's the system talking: you decide how much camera you want.

Match

Good for

  • Portrait and studio work (especially with the 80mm f/1.9)
  • Photographers who want to swap film stocks mid-roll via interchangeable backs
  • A first 'serious' medium-format SLR system that can grow with you
  • Aperture-priority shooting when fitted with the AE prism

Inventory

What you receive

  • Mamiya 645 Pro body
  • Mamiya-Sekor C 80mm f/2.8 standard lens
  • Mamiya-Sekor ULD C 300mm f/5.6 N telephoto lens

Character

What it feels like to shoot

This is a working camera through and through: square-shouldered, purpose-built, and unapologetically engineered to be used hard by wedding and studio shooters. The 80mm f/2.8 is clinically sharp; the f/1.9 gives you genuinely shallow medium-format depth of field. The shutter is fully electronic, so a fresh PX28 keeps it running all day; carry a spare and you'll never think about it.

The 6×4.5 frame is the practical one: bigger and far cleaner than 35mm, but more frames-per-roll and far less bulk than a 6×7. With the prism finder it handles like an oversized SLR; with the waist-level hood it becomes a slower, more deliberate instrument. You decide how much camera you want.

Mamiya-Sekor C 80mm f/2.8

The 645 standard: the format's equivalent of a 50mm, compact and contrasty, the lens the system was designed around. This is the everyday walk-around glass that lives on the camera.

The long end of the kit: ultra-low-dispersion glass with real telephoto reach, for compressed landscapes and detail work on a 6×4.5 negative. Lenses this long rarely surface with the body they belong to.

Born 1992

History of the Mamiya 645 Pro

Mamiya's 645 line began in 1975 with the original M645, the first medium-format SLR built around the economical 6×4.5 frame and interchangeable everything. The Super (1985) made the film backs detachable; the Pro (1992) tidied the styling, added a self-timer and refined the film transport; the Pro TL (1997) bolted on TTL flash. The Pro is the sweet spot: the modular promise fully delivered, before the line went autofocus-and-digital with the 645AF.
