Mamiya 645 AF
A medium format SLR camera with autofocus, built for professional use and long-term reliability
Overview
The Mamiya 645 AF is a medium format single-lens reflex camera made by Mamiya. It was the company's first autofocus camera, and the first in the 645 family to offer autofocus. It was built as a precision optical and mechanical instrument for heavy professional use, and with proper maintenance it was meant to last. It has digital display controls and takes a 120/220 film back with an LCD panel, which was an advanced modular design for the time.

Design
The Mamiya 645 AF brought digital display controls and an LCD panel on the film back into Mamiya's modular system. Its autofocus has been described as sounding and operating much like a Nikon camera from 1988. It was Mamiya's first autofocus model.
Market
The Mamiya 645 AF was originally priced at $3,800 in 2004. It sells for much less on the used market now. One recent listing offered a complete kit with 80mm f/2.8 lens and 120/220 film back for $1,499.99. Some owners report getting the camera for as little as $60. The battery holders are known to need repair, and 3D-printed replacements are now available.
