Subject: 3d Mamiya 7?
Date: 2015-07-14 09:16:37
From: coronet3d

A stereo Mamiya 7 is mentioned on this page:

3D cameras - Photo.net Alternative Cameras & Lenses Forum

 Does anyone know who was producing these cameras?  I'm told that the Mamiya 7 standard lens is a Plasmat type, which Kingslake (and others) claim are supposed to have greater DOF than other lenses.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

That appears to be John Roll’s camera which he had made custom. The author on the page you reference was suggesting $4,000 for such a camera. If it’s for sale, sign me up. I don’t have that kind of money but I’d find it.

That camera cost somewhere in the neighborhood of a new car, I would guess.

You can see it again here:

John Roll is also an accomplished diver, and has an underwater housing for his Mamamiya.

cheers,
Bob

    4000.-$ is not enough, probably about 6600.-$, depending on which lenses you wanna use !

    I think the Mamiya 7s are selling for a little north of $1,000 right now so aprox. $3,000 to a have a twin rig.  I believe the 80mm is the Plasmat.  The 65mm would have to be a retrofocus lens IMO.  Who would even do a mod like that now?

    Hi Steve,

    Are you going to the NSA Convention. It looks like John Roll will be there and you could ask him.

    These were never "produced". One was built for John Roll. I've seen
    images from it and gotten to see the camera. There are matched lens sets
    for it and a custom under water housing suitable for diving. This camera
    falls into the "if you have to ask the price..." category.

    I express my interest many years ago in being informed if it ever came
    up for sale. I'd have to check my notes, but I recall the response being
    along the lines of, 'I don't think this camera will ever be sold'.

      Hello Steve,

      Did you notice the date of the article that you mentioned ? It is a bit dated, as the date of origin, was Jan 2007, some eight years ago.

      Best Regards,

      DON

      A stereo Mamiya 7 is mentioned on this page:

      3D cameras - Photo.net Alternative Cameras & Lenses Forum

       Does anyone know who was producing these cameras?  I'm told that the Mamiya 7 standard lens is a Plasmat type, which Kingslake (and others) claim are supposed to have greater DOF than other lenses.

      Thanks,

      Steve
