Overview

The Mamiya-Sekor 65mm f/3.5 is a wide-angle lens for Mamiya TLRs, roughly equivalent to a 35mm lens on 35mm format. Optically, it offers good quality, with close focus capability near life size due to bellows focus. Weaknesses include a relatively slow aperture and a shutter built into the lens. Build and handling: the lens is part of a heavy, metal camera system that is not as smooth mechanically as a Rollei. It suits photographers seeking an affordable entry into 6x6 medium format with interchangeable lenses and macro capability.
