Mamiya C33

{"overview":"The Mamiya C33 is a medium format twin-lens reflex camera shooting 6x6 negatives on 120 roll film, and it belongs to Mamiya's C-series — the only professional TLR line to offer interchangeable lenses via a front-standard bayonet. As of today in 2026, clean working examples with accurate shutter speeds tend to sit in the upper half of that band, while scruffier or untested bodies drag the lower end down. Price is heavily condition-sensitive: a sticky shutter or hazy viewing lens can halve what an otherwise identical camera sells for.","buying_guide":"The C33 is a heavy, bellows-based TLR, so inspect the bellows for pinholes by shining a torch inside a darkened room, and check that all leaf-shutter speeds on the taking lens fire crisply — the slow speeds (1s, 1\/2s) are the first to gum up. Look for clean ground glass, a bright viewing lens free of fungus, a smooth film-advance crank and working double-exposure prevention.
