Mamiya 6 User Guide

Remove the front and rear lens caps.

The front lens cap can be removed by

pressing in the tabs on the right and left
with your fingers and pulling the cap

towards you.

 The rear lens cap can be removed by

rotating it counterclockwise.

Align Lens Alignment Dot (E) With the
Camera Alignment Dot (D). Insert the lens
into the camera body. Then turn the lens in
the direction of the arrow until it clicks and

locks into place.

Like removing the camera body cap, while

pressing in the lens release button (B),
rotate the lens in the direction of the arrow

until the lens alignment dot is lined up
with the white alignment dot (D) on the

camera body.

When changing lens, pull out the retractable

mount and proceed to the action mode.

l 

Through mounting the lens is possible with the

mount retracted, removing it is not possible. (Inter-
locks!)

 When the mount is retracted, or if the  light baffle

is open when trying to remove the lens, the lens

release button will not work, preventing lens re-
lease.

 Particularly when mounting the 50mm lens, take

care so that the rear rim of the lens does not touch

the body’s rangefinder coupling cam.

*When the lens has been removed and film
remains in the camera body, avoid exposure to

direct sunlight as film fogging may result.

Gold Plated Electronic contacts are provided inside the retractable

mount and at the rear of each lens. If oil, dirt, or other foreign matter

collects on the contacts poor electronic  information  transfer may

result. When soiled, use a piece of clean cloth to wipe them

thoroughly before installing the lens. Also, use the utmost care so as

not to touch them. (Position the front face of the lens which has
been removed as shown in the photo.)
