Mamiya c system review part 2: mamiya-sekor 80mm f2.8

Verdict

Although I initially disliked this lens I have grown to like it quite a bit. It’s smaller than some other, longer lenses on the Mamiya C system so it’s easier to carry around. Built quality is good although controls themselves could be better. It’s still acceptable.

I wasn’t the biggest fan on the rendering but that has flipped. If it’s used right it’s like having two lenses in one. Close down to f5.6 or more for situations when you want everything sharp. Open up for a more character-like lens that’s perfect for portraits.

Would a more modern version ( «blue dot» ) give better results? Maybe. But it’s not necessary. Although I would like to try it for my own sake — all versions of this lens will deliver great results.

Is it a good enough lens to buy the whole system ( camera + lens ) for? I haven’t used many other TLRs but I would still say yes if price is of importance. I believe that this is one of the cheapest options for f2.8 TLRs — lenses interchangeable or not. And f2.8 is not there only for show — it actually delivers great results. As long as you’re willing to carry a larger camera

Ever thought about using Medium Format glass for filming?
«Interstellar» and «The Dark Knight Rises» do so on IMAX cameras.
Mamiya 645 lenses are surprisingly affordable and future proof in a market trending toward larger sensors… and they look absolutely gorgeous. A real alternative for modern Mirrorless Full Frame hybrids, for Large Format cine cams like the Arri Alexa 65 and Alexa LF, the RED Monstro, Sony Venice and the MAVO LF… but also for any other sensor size including Micro Four Thirds.

We are having an extensive look on the primes of Mamiya 645 Sekor C range using the Panasonic GH5 and EVA1, as well as the 35mm Full Frame sensor MAVO LF introducing a Kipon Focal Reducer that enables us to use the whole image of Medium Format lenses… giving you crazy shallow Depth Of Field and mind boggling amounts of light.

We are testing: Sharpness, field of view, focus breathing, Bokeh, flaring, close focus, throughout the range on different sensor sizes with and without Speed Boosters.

We also give practical tips including cine-modding, service and repairs.

Build And Ergonomics

As it’s a TLR lens — it’s actually two lenses. The top lens is the dumb lens that you look through ( more commonly known as viewing lens ). Why dumb? It has no controls. It’s a piece of glass and metal that you look through. It’s a constant f2.8 aperture. When you look through it everything is always looking amazing. Bokeh is everywhere. People often say that they would like to see the world through Rolleiflex 80mm f2.8 viewfinder ( also a TLR camera ). I imagine this is pretty close as well.

The viewing lens. Just metal and glass. No moving parts.

I guess there’s the flash sync port. I don’t know what a flash is though so it’s promptly ignored.

Bottom lens is where the brains are at. It’s where you set the shutter speed. It’s where you set the aperture. It’s where you cock the shutter as the shutter is within the lens. And it’s actually the lens that takes the photo ( more commonly known as taking lens ). It’s not where you focus though. If you’ve ready the C220 review then you’ll know that focussing mechanism is in the camera.

There’s definitely a lot more going on in the taking lens. Controls with moving parts. Shutter. All sorts of things.

Lens has some heft which is pleasant. It’s kind of expected as it’s two lenses in one package. It doesn’t feel too heavy and definitely balances well on the camera. It’s also quite small — at least when compared to other lenses in this system. And from a single lens perspective — it’s likely smaller than most 80mm f2.8 lenses in the 35mm world.

Even when both are forever joined — it’s still smaller than some 80mm lenses in 35mm world.

Lens is almost all glass and metal. Only the shutter speed and aperture controls are made from plastic. That being said — shutter speed and aperture controls are about 50% of the outer shell for the bottom lens. I prefer all metal builds ( and glass — actual lens might work better as glass ).

Build feels 75% solid — it’s only the shutter speed and aperture controls that are lacking. They feel very easy to turn. Aperture control is clickless. Which is weird. I’m not going to use this lens for video. Shutter speed control is better but its clicks are not very definite. At least they are there.

The vague feeling of the controls and their position means that you won’t be changing the settings without looking. It’s not a huge deal as medium format photography is often slow and methodical.

Actual aperture settings go from f2.8 all the way to f32 for when you want a TLR pinhole camera. Because it’s clickless you can stick it in any setting. Markings are in full stops and are equally spaced.

Exposure settings go from 1/500s to 1s and it’s also in full stops. There is also a bulb mode.

There is actually one more control that I have not mentioned. And it’s the best feeling control. Metal toggle that flicks between two settings with a good clicky feel. Sadly it’s for the most useless feature — flash sync speed. I don’t know what flash is or what it does. It has M and X settings. Keep it in X otherwise there will be a delay in shutter release and you will have to fully release it manually. Or use a flash. Which nobody does.

All of the lens controls in one photo…and also in real life.

Flash sync speed toggle is a bit invisible here — but it’s also invisible in real life.

Overall the build quality is good but the controls could be a lot better. It could be my copy that’s not ideal. I have another lens for this system and controls are better there. Although still plastic and I would prefer more *»clickiness»* action.

In this video I will show how to work with Mamiya-Sekor C 1:2.8 f=80mm if it has sticky aperture blades or if there’s a stiff focus ring. I will fully disassemble the aperture assembly and the focus assembly, then cleaning the parts and then in the PART 2 that will come sooner, I will show how to assemble the lens again.

REMEMBER TO set small marks BEFORE disassemble the aperture assembly and the focus helicoids!
