Mamiya M645 Pro TL Medium Format Camera Body Review

The Mamiya M645 Pro TL is a professional-grade medium format film camera that shoots 645 format (6x4.5cm) on 120 or 220 roll film. As part of Mamiya's well-regarded M645 system, it offers interchangeable lenses, backs, and viewfinders, making it a modular workhorse for film shooters who want the image quality advantage of medium format without the bulk of 6x6 or 6x7 cameras. The Pro TL model includes through-the-lens metering and supports both aperture-priority auto exposure and manual modes.

This used body is available in a range of conditions from KEH, with pricing around $315 for Excellent Plus grade. The M645 system remains popular among analog enthusiasts and working film photographers for portraiture, landscape, and studio work, thanks to its robust build, excellent lens lineup, and relatively compact form factor for a medium format camera. It's a mature platform with plenty of aftermarket support and a large used market for accessories.
