The Mamiya C330 (JP9) 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 C330 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 images shown depict the exact camera and lens you will receive.
Introduced in 1969, the Mamiya C330 is one of the most advanced and versatile twin lens reflex cameras ever produced. Unlike most TLR cameras, the C330 features a unique interchangeable lens system, allowing photographers to change focal lengths while retaining the bright waist-level viewing experience that TLR cameras are known for. Its precision rack-and-pinion bellows focusing system enables exceptionally close focusing without additional accessories, making it ideal for portraits, still life, product photography, and macro work.
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 form one of the finest medium format systems ever produced, capable of delivering the distinctive detail, tonal richness, and three-dimensional rendering for which Mamiya TLR cameras are celebrated.
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.
