Mamiya 645AF Medium Format Camera Body Review

The Mamiya 645AF is a medium format autofocus camera body that delivers 6x4.5cm negatives with a level of automation rare in its class. Originally released in the 1990s, it remains a capable option for photographers seeking larger-than-35mm image quality without committing to fully manual operation. The AF system, while slower than modern standards, offers a practical advantage in studio and controlled shooting environments. This unit is sold in excellent condition through KEH, suggesting light use and reliable functionality at a price point well below new medium format bodies. The 645AF accepts Mamiya's extensive lineup of AF lenses and accessories, making it a viable entry point into a mature system with robust used-market support. Build quality is solid, though the camera's age means service and parts availability should be considered before purchase. For those already invested in the Mamiya ecosystem or looking to experiment with medium format at a lower cost, this body represents a functional tool with proven results.
