This Mamiya (妈咪呀) C330 Professional S came across really in an expected situation. I was looking for a good conditioned Rolleiflex 2.8f back then. But I just couldn’t find anything in my budget range with good clean lenses. I didn’t even want other cameras, not even mention a Mamiya, which the version that I was not even familiar. However, the owner told me that this is a professional version with blue dot, which is really rare to find. Just out of curiosity, I started to try it. Several things that really left me with good impression.
This camera came with a 80mm 2.8 standard blue dot lens. And it also came with a 150mm 4 portrait lens. That’s something new from Rolleiflex, which can’t really change the lens. And amazingly, the lens can get really close to the object and still be able to focus. So I really use my 80mm lens as the macro lens. Please check the leaf image, the vein is so clear. And it is also so sharp. I just can’t decide if I need to trade it for a Rollei or just keep it. Coz I just love it so much. (The first image is taken by Leica iiif red dial)
