Description — Mamiya 180mm f/4.5 W-N
The Mamiya Sekor Z 180mm f/4.5 W-N is a medium format telephoto prime lens built for the Mamiya RZ mount system. With a fixed 180mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/4.5, it delivers a consistent shooting experience suited to controlled environments where careful composition and manual technique are prioritized. Focusing is manual only, which aligns naturally with the deliberate pace of medium format photography.
The lens features a 77mm filter thread, offering broad compatibility with standard filter accessories without the need for adapters. Weighing in at 1100g, it is a solidly built piece of glass that benefits from tripod support during use.
