But as a twin lens camera, the photographer views through the top lens but the photograph is taken through the other, resulting in the parallax error. The Mamiya C series employs bellows focusing, which is fairly unique to TLR cameras, allowing the photographer to shoot extreme closeups. These cameras lack all modern bells and whistles and are totally manual – there is no through-the-lens (TTL) metering available, auto exposure modes, or even a need for batteries. However, they are extremely affordable cameras for those who want to learn medium format film and cannot afford expensive medium format SLR cameras or don’t want something as simple as the Holga series camera. The C series is no longer in production so these cameras will need to be purchased used. The Mamiya C series is made for use with medium format film, both 120 and 220 types, and features a twin-lens reflex (TLR) system.
