Images by Dirk HR Spennemann and Rebollo_fr ( Image rights) Manuals, Brochures and Advertisements Pre-War instruction sheets, brochures and advertisements for the Mamiya Six I in Vester-3 shutter with T, B, 1-1/200 sec (standard). Dimensions 140 x 103 x 51mm (closed), weight 780g. The larger diameter shutter required that the internal door catch be redesigned and there is a different shape to the shutter release side of the front door. The indicator arrow next to the film counter is a pointed arrow with a thin tail. The film respool knob is a solid knurled knob. Like the Mamiya Six I on which it is based, this version of the camera has a slightly larger waist level viewfinder (12 x 12 mm) than the subsequent models II and III. Technical details All units are covered with leatherette. Instead of the three-part struts, the camera has a simple, two-part strut mechanism. The next iteration, publicised in January 1941 saw the use of a larger '00' shutter, which was wider and thus required the redesign of the strut system.
