Description — Mamiya 43mm f/4.5 N L
The Mamiya 7 43mm f/4.5 N L is a prime, manual focus wide-angle lens designed specifically for the Mamiya 7 medium format camera system. With a focal length of 43mm and a maximum aperture of f/4.5, it covers a wide-angle field of view suited to landscapes, architecture, and expansive scenes. The lens is built to the medium format standard, matching the imaging requirements of the Mamiya 7 system.
A 67mm filter thread provides compatibility with a wide range of filtration accessories, from polarizers to neutral density filters. At 380g, this lens is a practical choice for photographers who want medium format coverage without excessive weight.
