Mamiya MF Cameras Breakdown?

[Villanova]

Hey everyone,

I've been getting into medium format photography and came across Mamiya and their cameras.

There are no guides out there so I thought I'd ask here. Can anyone offer a basic breakdown of the different Mamiya MF cameras and some of their distinctive traits? Are there any useful pages out there for me to read?

There's been a few MF format models over the years, which model were you thinking
of ? TLR's are way more affordable than their rangefinders ( 6x6 or 6x7 ) . It's rather nice that their TLR models have a selection of lens too. Peter

Guess I should've been more specific.

I'm looking at medium format, manual focus, with TTL metering rangefinders.

The best place to start would be the m645 series?

I don't think Mamiya made any TTL metering rangefinders. Everything has a metering cell near the VF window. I would look at a Mamiya 6/6MF if you like shooting 6x6 or the Mamiya 6x7 if you like wides.
