Will the Mamiya single plate back fit the Mamiya C3

pdjr1991 · Feb 20, 2014

Recently got a mamiya c3 and some plate holders for it. Will the mamiya single exposure back fit the Mamiya c3? I do not know if the Mamiya C3 back and the Mamiya C330 back are the same or not. Thanks in advance.

You will need a back that matches the C3. See http://grahampatterson.home.comcast.net/~grahampatterson/grahamp/mfaq/m_faq-8.html#Heading118

Bear in mind that these things took glass plates and used an insert to use sheet film. Personally I consider them a curiosity unless you have a real need for cutting up odd film stock. The light traps will almost certainly have to be replaced.

You can see photographs of the Model 2 back, which _will not_ fit a C3 at the bottom of http://grahampatterson.home.comcast.net/~grahampatterson/grahamp/mamiyamisc/index.html

Thanks i do want to shoot on glass. Dry, wet plate. The single packs come with a sheet adapter.

So according to the website, ill need a mamiya c22/33 back, it will fit the c3 and my type 2 holders. Thanks for the help!

Do make sure to verify the fit and that it matches your holders before committing money - these things have not been made for a long time and boxes and documentation get mixed up.

The only one I have actually go my hands on is the late model for use with the C330, which is the one photographed.
