The Mamiya C220 (JP10) paired with the Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/3.7 (JP11) 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. The lens is also in excellent working condition, with smooth aperture and shutter ring operation, while the integrated leaf shutter winds and fires correctly across all speeds.

As with the original design, the Mamiya C220 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 a standard characteristic of the camera.

Cosmetically, both the camera body and lens are in excellent condition, showing only very minor signs of wear consistent with careful use. The camera's 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 and lens 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.

Paired with the standard Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/3.7, this combination offers a natural field of view, exceptional sharpness, smooth tonal transitions, and the convenience of a built-in leaf shutter with flash synchronisation available at all shutter speeds. Together, the camera and lens provide an exceptionally capable medium format system that continues to be valued by photographers for its reliability, modularity, and outstanding image quality.

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

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