Mamiya 6 body and lens questions

[Asim]

I have researched the Mamiya 6 extensively but could not find the answers to the following questions:

1. What is the depth of the camera and lens with the 150mm attached in the collapsed position?

2. What is the depth of the camera and lens with the 50mm attached in the collapsed position?

3. When not attached to the camera body, can the lenses be stored in a collapsed position or must they be stored fully extended?

-What are their lengths with their rear caps on?

I just bought this camera last week, but only have the 75mm lens. I could measure the depth of the camera and lens with the 75mm lens attached in the collapsed position and you could extrapolate the measurement to the 50mm and 150mm, if that helps.

thanks, but i'm not sure if the 150 and 50 collapse as much as the 75 or maybe they collapse more than the 75. If, for example, the 150 is 2 inches longer than the 75, then perhaps it has a mechanism of collapsing more than the 75... resulting in a collapsed lens that is the same length as a 75. Or it could be that the 150 doesn't collapse at all and so it gives you a long lens.

One thing you could tell me is if the 75 collapses when not attached to the body.

The lenses themselves don't collapse to be any smaller than they actually are. They collapse into the body via a bellows-like mechanism in the body.

It's not the lenses that collapse, they are rigid. It's the front of the body that the lens collapses into, whichever lens you have mounted. It's a while since I owned one but I believe that is correct.

Okay, here you go:

with the 50: 9cm deep, or about 3.75 inches
with the 150: 12 cm deep, or about 5 inches

the 50, with caps, is 9 cm long, or about 3.5 inches
the 150, with caps, is 12 cm long, or about 4.75 inches

And yes, it's the body that collapses, not the lenses.

Mamiya M6 dimensions.....

Just measured my old M6 + 50/4 L lens with body panel collapsed
at 9cm.,but a more practical measurement would be 10.5cm to allow for
a sky filter and lenscap,plus the fact that that the wind on lever stands
out from the back a little as does the back section of the hand/palm grip
which form part of the camera body.
Sorry I don't have my 150mm lens to hand just now.
All the best,ITC..

I'm a bit confused. Are those measurements with the lens attached extended and collapsed ?

There's not much difference in the numbers for the 50.

thanks
