The Mamiya C220 (JP10) has been inspected and tested by CPB Darkroom and is in excellent working condition. The camera functions mechanically as intended, with all buttons, dials, focusing mechanisms, film transport controls, and shutter release operating correctly. It does not feature a built-in light meter. Exposure must therefore be determined using an external light meter or a light metering app before making an exposure. This is standard for the camera.

Cosmetically, the camera body is in excellent condition, showing only very minor signs of wear consistent with careful use. The viewfinder has two parallel lines visible along the top of the viewing screen. These lines are noticeable while composing but do not interfere with normal viewing or affect the photographs recorded on film. The images shown depict the exact camera you will receive.

Introduced in the late 1960s, the Mamiya C220 is a highly regarded medium format twin lens reflex camera designed for photographers seeking the image quality of the Mamiya C system in a lighter and more compact body. Like its larger sibling, it features Mamiya's unique interchangeable twin-lens system, allowing photographers to switch focal lengths while retaining the classic waist-level viewing experience. Its bellows focusing mechanism enables close focusing without additional accessories, making it well suited to portraits, still life, product photography, documentary work, and everyday medium format photography.

This camera uses 120 roll film, producing 6 × 6 cm negatives.

TLR cameras sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter operation, film transport reliability, focusing mechanism, viewing system, and overall mechanical functionality. Any cosmetic or functional notes are clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
