Description — Mamiya 210mm f/4
The Mamiya 210mm f/4 is a prime telephoto lens purpose-built for the Mamiya 645 medium format system. With a fixed 210mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/4, it occupies a clear telephoto role in the Mamiya 645 lineup. Focus is entirely manual, with no autofocus mechanism, placing full control — and responsibility — in the photographer's hands.
The lens accepts 67mm front filters, a convenient and widely available thread size that opens up a broad range of filter accessories. Weighing 1,040g, it is a solid, substantial lens, and the absence of image stabilization makes a tripod or monopod a practical necessity for consistent, sharp results at this focal length. Whether used for portrait, landscape, or detail work in a medium format context, this lens offers a straightforward, dedicated telephoto option for Mamiya 645 system users who prefer the simplicity and optical commitment of a prime focal length.
