The Mamiya 645AFD system is the choice of many of today’s working professionals offering the best in quality, reliability together with an excellent choice of high quality lenses and accessories.

I was simply referring to the fact, they don`t make 35mm/or cropped DSLR`s like Nikon/Canon etc, where as Pentax do

If other cameras are kings & queens,

Mamiya is always the emperor!
