Hello folks,
This is my first post on APUG!
I just bought myself a Mamiya 6 Automat II folding camera, and am waiting excitedly for its arrival!
Would anyone have a manual (preferably as a PDF) for this camera that they'd be willing to share with me? I'd be very grateful for your help!
Thank you,
Raj

No big difference I guess ...
From 1955, the Mamiya Six Automat and the later Automat 2 added a coupling between the shutter cocking and the film advance. = from camerapedia http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Mamiya_Six

Mike Butkus has a manual for the Mamiya 6 Folder

Thanks - I appreciate your comments. Unfortunately the Mamiya 6MF is the modern rangefinder, which is a completely different beast (very fine camera though it is).
Mine is the old folding 6x6 camera from the 1940s-50s - can't seem to find the manual for this one anywhere, but I was hoping that someone might have one or a scanned copy of one, since these are considered pretty decent machines.
