Mamiya C330 Serial Number Lookup

The Mamiya C330 Professional is a traditional film twin-lens reflex camera introduced in the 1970s for the professional and advanced amateur photography. I recently came across a 55mm f/4.5 lens that was advertised as a blue dot lens, but the blue dot is missing leaving a small recess. Is it possible that it simply fell out and/or to check the serial number to confirm that it is a blue dot lens?

The Mamiya C series is a line of twin-lens reflexmedium-format system cameras manufactured by Mamiya between 1956 and 1994. It was developed from the Mamiyaflex series of cameras built from 1949 to 1956. The Mamiya C series was initially aimed at the professional market, but some later models were intended for amateurs. Unlike most TLR cameras, the Mamiya C has interchangeable lenses. The upper and lower lenses come off as a unit, and are available in at least seven different focal lengths. The lower lens of each unit has an aperture diaphragm as well as a leaf shutter. A flash sync terminal is part of the lens unit, and the delay can be set to M or X mode. The camera has an interlocking baffle that enables lenses to be changed without exposing the film. Focusing is done via a bellows system on the front side of the camera. Early models had separate film advance and shutter cocking mechanisms; on later models the shutter was automatically cocked. There is no metering in the camera body, so an external light meter is necessary. Viewfinders with built-in meters were available as accessories with later models.

Models[edit]

While the basic shape remained the same, the bodies increased with size over time. The C22 and C220 models were aimed at amateurs and had fewer features, but were also lighter than the C33 and C330 models. Two models were made with Mamiyaflex on the nameplate attached to the viewfinder.
