Default Hello and Help?

Hello Folks,
I am new to this forum, being a 'born-again' film user and developer. I am interested in Medium Format and my latest acquisition is causing me some head scratching. It's a Mamiya Six folder (the 1950's) camera seen here:

I think it's a Six V but am not sure. Does anyone use one of these, that could give me a few tips on use?

Best regards,
RoyM

Hello Roy and welcome to FADU.

I am not familiar with Mamiya 6 folder myself but there are plenty of folks here that will be and who like you make good use of them. I am sure kt won't be long before you receive some quality replies.

Neil.

Hi Roy and welcome to the forum, sorry but I don't know anything about the Mamiya 6 folder, but I have a few folders for both 120 and 35 mm that I use in preferance to more modern cameras, mostly English,(Ensign) and German,They are great fun to use and produce great results, and You make friends using them,Richard

Hi Roy and welcome to FADU. It looks like a very good folder for which Kevin's link should prove useful.
