Congratulations on your purchase of the Mamiya 645 PRO

Mamiya pioneered the 6x4.5 film format and introduced the world’s first 645
SLR in 1975. The 645 PRO is the latest masterpiece in this series and
incorporates all the latest mechanical, electronic and optical advances. Its

external appearance, too, has been modernized and its ergonomic design

further enhanced.
We are sure that you will enjoy the many advantages this camera and its
accessories offer and want to particularly mention:

The 645 PRO has a built-in self-timer (delayed shutter release) which will also

facilitate time exposures. Attaching special leaf shutter lenses will automati-
cally set the focal plane shutter to 1/8 sec. Heavy duty gears connect to the

improved Power Drive Grip WG401. This grip also automatically

cocks

the leaf

shutter lenses and permits remote control.

The AE Prism Finder FE401, specially created for this camera, automates

exposure and shows LED safety signals. 35mm film holders now come with

panoramic adapters. A super fast 300mm f/2.8 APO lens was also designed

for this camera.
We are convinced that your camera will serve you well, because we have

designed it for heavy professional use. However, we ask you to please read

all operating instructions carefully before you put your equipment to work, in

order to ensure proper operation and maximum results.

This manual covers the

basic camera. Sepa-
rate instructions are

supplied with all sys-

tem accessories, in-
cluding lenses,finders,

film holders, etc.
