Mamiya 645DF Camera
Mamiya introduces the next level of camera performance for digital medium format photographers – the Mamiya 645DF camera. With autofocus speeds up to 30% faster than previous models, plus a new companion series of leaf shutter lenses, the Mamiya 645DF offers substantial performance upgrades for owners of virtually any brand of digital back, including Leaf®, Mamiya®, Phase One®, and Sinar®.
Combining 35mm handling ease and speed but with an available image capture area almost three times larger, the Mamiya 645DF is a full-featured camera, utilizing digital controls and LCD displays, and featuring 19 custom settings for fully personalized digital photography.
The new 645DF system delivers exciting advances in core-camera technology, including an innovative new selectable dual shutter system. The photographer can now select the best shutter for the conditions – either the integral focal plane shutter, which can be used with any of the 15 existing Mamiya 645AF system lenses, or one of three new lenses containing an integral leaf shutter for flash sync speeds of up to 1/1600 second.

The Mamiya Sekor AF 45mm f/2.8 D lens has been designed with a 16bit CPU that allows easy firmware upgrading, fine lens characteristic correction and fast, reliable communication between the lens, camera body and digital back when used in conjunction with the Mamiya 645AFDIII and 645AFDII.
The lens has an angle of view of 76 degrees - equivalent to a 28mm lens in the 35mm format. The Mamiya Sekor AF 45mm f/2.8 D is especially suited for architectural photography and other subjects dominated by straight lines. It also features a one touch switching ring for easy changing between manual and auto focus.
The new Mamiya V-Grip Air is designed with one thing in mind: You! From its comfortable vertical handling, to its integrated Profoto Air wireless flash sync system, the V-Grip Air expands the Mamiya 645DF camera for professional photographers of all specialties.

Key Features:
Main camera body controls are duplicated just where you would expect them on the grip for vertical shooting. Shutter release, front and rear exposure control dials, AEL, and AFL buttons—they’re all there.
Profoto Air wireless flash triggering system. Fully compatible with Profoto Air-equipped flash generators. But don’t worry, it’s no problem if you don’t have a Profoto with an integrated Air unit, or if you own another brand of flash equipment—you can just add an optional Profoto Air transceiver unit to your flash pack to have wireless syncing with the Mamiya V-Grip Air.
Flexible battery options. The Mamiya V-Grip Air uses the same powerful and rechargeable 7.2v Lithium-Ion batteries as are also used with the Mamiya DM series digital backs. No need to carry multiple types of batteries—use the same batteries for both your camera and digital back.
A built-in USB port allows for future user firmware upgrades for both the V-Grip and 645DF camera body.
