Are their any adapters available to use other lenses on the mamiya 7 series? I am new to RFF and haven't seen this question asked.

I have never seen one. Besides, why would you want to do that? The M7II lenses are rated as amoung the best ever.

Bob, I know the lenses are top notch I have used all but the 210. I prefer the wide angle but was curious only to try shooting with a faster aperture on this system. Or perhaps a fisheye. That's why I ask.

Atom,
Yeah, I know. It's about the only drawback to the system...fast, it ain't. I have never seen any adaptor or third party lenses for this system. As the system is very popular and is generating a lot of attention I would expect anything to do with the M7II would be easily found.
Best luck on your search and keep us posted if you find anything.

It seems a little unlikely for technical reasons. The camera is designed around electronically operated, in lens shutters. The electronics are proprietary, right? So the adapter would have to make up for the lack of electronic support in the lens assembly.
Then there's the rangefinder mechanism...

I have seen it done though it may not be the answer you are looking for. I saw in a second hand shop a Mamiya 6 kit with all three lenses but the original elements drilled out and replaced with classic German optics from what format I don't recall. I remember the 75mm had its original elements replaced by a Tessar sitting in the original Mamiya 75mm mount with the shutter functional.
