![]() My Mamiya 6 has the 75mm lens which is the smallest of the 50mm, 75mm and 150mm lens line up. Some call it a Mamiya 6 folding camera but don’t expect the camera to fold! It does “squash” flatter however. With the Mamiya 6 once film is loaded I shoot the whole roll so have to stick to my film speed / film colour or B&W. Carrying 2+ film backs adds yet more size and weight to the camera bag but if neither are an issue then being able to swap backs is a great feature. ![]() The Hasselblad has the advantage of a removable film back so I can use two film backs and have colour film and black and white film running side by side without having to finish a roll. 1.3 Hasselblad modular camera with removable film back My go to lenses are the 60mm Distagon (second shortest of my Zeiss lenses and gives a very usable field of view) and 120mm Makro-Planar for close up portraits and ultimate image quality (more on that to follow below). The Hasselblad 80mm kit lens is the most compact followed by the 100mm from those I have owned. ![]() It is perhaps my biggest disappointment with the Hasselblad as I love the waist level viewfinder view / experience on my Mamiya RZ67 Pro II camera. I wish I could focus accurately without the prism finder but I really cannot see properly with Acute Matte non-spot screen glass. I love the modular 500 series Hasselblad cameras but I only use mine with a prism viewfinder which unfortunately adds both size and weight. Size Comparison – Hasselblad vs Mamiya 6 1.1 Hasselblad focus screen disappointment + prism finder Both cameras seem to receive positive reviews from reading prior to my purchase so without further ado lets crack on!ġ. My Hasselblad 501C was my favourite camera before buying the Mamiya 6 so expectation was very high. Hasselblad vs Mamiya 6 – Costīoth camera are roughly the same price with the Mamiya 6 probably costing slightly more here in the UK due to there being not many Mamiya 6 cameras on the market.

Mamiya 6 as travel 6×6 cameraĪs a quick recap I recently bought the Mamiya 6 to provide a smaller alternative to my 500 series Hasselblad for trips abroad (especially). At least waiting til after two trips overseas using the Mamiya I can now give a fair writeup of the Mamiya 6 vs H asselblad 501C. (Hasselblad 501C + 50mm, 60mm, 80mm, 120mm, 150mm lenses)įirstly, sorry for the delay on this Hasselblad vs Mamiya 6 post!
