Description from the seller
Relive the magic of analog photography with a Mamiya 645 1000s: an icon of medium format that defined an era.
This camera is not just a tool: it’s a bridge to a time when every shot was thought through, waited for, desired. An era in which the photographer leaned over the waist-level viewfinder, breathed slowly, and let the light draw its story on the film.
The Mamiya 645 1000s is a sturdy, precise camera built to last. Its reliable shutter, impeccable mechanics, and the output of medium format deliver images with a unique character: sharpness, depth, and dimensionality that no digital sensor will ever truly be able to imitate.
The kit includes the waist-level viewfinder, beloved by those seeking a pure photographic experience, and a rare Mamiya-Sekor 60mm lens, perfect for landscapes, environmental portraits, and reportage with an authentic flavor. A bright, sharp lens with a character that only glass from the golden years can offer.
This camera is ideal for:
• those who want to rediscover the pleasure of the film roll,
• those who love analog medium format,
• Those who collect iconic photography tools,
• whoever is looking for an object that is not only to be displayed, but to be lived.
Every shot with this Mamiya is a return to the “good old days”, when photography was a ritual, not a race.
If you’re looking for an authentic, exciting, and timeless experience, this is the perfect companion.
