**Weekly X Series Photo Thread 23rd February, 2013**

This week, a slightly more up to date rangefinder - a Mamiya 6 ( Mr. Rockwell's write up on it   )

They appeared in the 1989-1999 period and were a 6 x 6cm (2-1/4" square) rangefinder camera taking 120 and 220 film with three interchangeable lenses of 50mm, 75mm and 150mm.

Search on eBay showed nothing for the Series 6 but I note a Series 7 version was being offered for about $6,500. When I played with the Series 6 unit at a local camera store recently, picking it up instantly made me want to keep it, a wonderfully balanced and tactile camera I thought.

Taken by a Fuji X-E1 using a 18-55mm zoom in macro mode.
