View Full Version : Mamiya TLR Lens Query

I have just taken delivery of a 55mm f4.5 lens for my Mamiya C330s, and am disappointed to discover that the aperture ring does not have click stops (unlike my 80 and 135mm lenses). Moreover, there seems to be slightly more 'play' at each aperure setting than perhaps one might expect. :slap:

Am I being overly pedantic? I would be grateful for the comments/reassurances of other owners...

Regards,
Richard

My 55 does have click stops Richard. Looks like yours may have a problem.

I have a 55mm for the Mamiya TLR and it does not have click stops and it works just fine. It is an older version than my 80 & 180 which do have click stops.

None of mine (65, 80, 180 Super) have click stops.

Thanks fellas for taking the time. I think I can safely assume from your responses that my 55 is an older version of the lens. Nevertheless, despite it not having the reassuring bonus of click stops, I do feel a whole lot better now. Thanks again. :D
