Nora Madeleine member since: 12/5/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I use this camera for portraits and I love the way it is able to capture pictures. I love the 120 mm film and focus it can get. 2/4/2006 11:17:54 AM
Bob Rannells member since: 12/19/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 When using film I love twin lens reflex cameras because there is no moving mirror to make noise and temporarilly black out the view. 1/15/2006 2:28:38 PM
Gary L. Burdette member since: 4/3/2004	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 The Mamiya C330 is one of the finest cameras I own. This old war horse has seen many portraits, weddings, and still lifes. It just keeps on ticking. It's light weight and has some of the finest and sharpest optics even by today's standards. The leaf shutters give me the complete range for flash...NO Sync. I find myself using it more and more for nature photography. If it's worth setting it up, then it's worth shooting. 9/7/2005 4:56:24 AM
Raamses Ortiz member since: 1/12/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Is a wonderful mechanical machine, heavy, but is worth the wait!! Mamiya is the only Twin Lens reflex that had intechangable lenses. Great camera. 4/7/2005 12:48:31 PM
Tom Schmitt Contact Tom Tom's Gallery member since: 3/22/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 My first medium format camera, I have since sold it and now use the Mamiya 7. I may upload some photos taken with the C330. I used only the 80mm. I had the eye-level prism finder which really made a brick out of this camera! The shutter got a little sticky in colder weather. 3/24/2005 2:36:50 PM
Rares Cuciureanu member since: 2/2/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 Strong, rock solid 6x6 format camera. 2/2/2005 4:42:36 AM
Oliver C. Trautmann member since: 1/24/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 When I had to explain it to my mother I told her; the idiot-proof camera she uses is a VW Beetle, the mirror-reflex (Direct translation from danish, don't know the english term) is a Jaguar, and my C330 is a Rolls Royce. The C330 is without a doubt the best camera I have, but I consider it a studio camera, and would never take it out in the field. 1/24/2005 8:41:23 AM
Jack Levisky member since: 9/16/2004	Rating: 4 out of 5 Manual operation only, no internal meter, cumbersome, excellent imagery. 10/11/2004 11:51:08 AM

Michelle Ms Abbott member since: 7/6/2004	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Fantastic photographs for an old camera 7/10/2004 11:19:55 AM
David Reynolds member since: 3/15/2004	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Better than a 35 mm in so many ways! Half the challenge and fun is using a hand held light meter and figuring out appropriate exposures to get the image you truly want. No automation in this camera so when you produce an image, you know that you actually participated in the creation rather than just clicking a button on a fully automatic camera. What creativity is there in that? Take every photo on a tripod and it will guarantee you detail you had always hoped for. Carry this weighty camera and a tripod to the top of a fourteener, and it will only add to the appreciation you will have of the ensuing photos! 3/15/2004 2:48:52 PM
Mike Cole member since: 2/4/2004	Rating: 4 out of 5 takes most outstanding photos and medium format kills 35mm, its not an slr and no light meter but other wise great 2/7/2004 6:15:34 PM
Ray A. Nieves member since: 2/4/2004	Rating: 2.5 out of 5 I used it years ago. Having used Rolleiflexs and now a Koni-Omegaflex, I will compare it in that light: Rolleiflexes: While C/330 much more versitile in accessories+lenses, Zeiss lenses much better, C series not built to Rollie standards, C much bigger and awkward to use. Bellows very delicate. Great on a tripod, but not hand-held. Koni-Omega: C has more lens selection, but Hexanon lenses much better than C series in my experience, Both bigger than Rolleiflex, Koni much stronger and sturdier than Mamiya: 30 years old and still kickin'! Mamiya TLR gives you more bang for buck with good lenses, but of the three TLRs, I kept the Koni: it is what Rollei could have become. Koni a better camera, at least for me. 2/4/2004 8:07:50 AM
Harold  Chastant member since: 2/2/2004	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 The functions of this camera are very good and simple. This is not a candid camera but one that can get you into med format photography fairly cheaply. The availibility of accessories if good. Lens quality is good and any other camera with lens interchangeability a real plus. 2/2/2004 8:30:16 AM
David L. Shannon Contact David David's Gallery member since: 8/23/2003	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 No auto exposure, no auto focus, no light meter and no batteries. Mamimia's c330 and c220 are great work horses that have been around for a long time and can produce great photos still today. Being all manual cameras, they force the photographer to use more care and time setting up shots. Use of light meters is nearly mandatory. Not the best camera for candids and action shots 8/23/2003 1:38:43 PM
Gary Jones member since: 11/10/2002	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I personally think that this is good camera, however what I need is 3X5 Magnifier. Thank you Gary 11/10/2002 2:37:00 AM
