Lately have been interested in medium format folding cameras. Experimenting...
Camera: Mamiya Six III.
As far as I can tell this is the III. Post war, manufactured until 1946.
However, some models may have been assembled from spare/leftover parts.
Camera is unique as focus is achieved by moving the film plane. A technique also used in the Contax AX to achieve autofocus with standard/legacy lenses.
Lens cleaned...it’s not perfect. Shutter cleaned and lubed...seems accurate. Range finder cleaned...appears accurate. Foam and felt ordered to sort out light leaks.

Among Contax's many fine accessories, there are a few that really tick all the boxes for heavy users of their cameras. Here we have two such: the P-8D Power Pack and the GP-1 Power Adapter. Most owners of the Contax AX, RX or 645 will be aware of the P-8 Power Pack which allows the use of 4 AA batteries to power them instead of the less widely available 2CR5 lithium batteries. If you are taking a lot of piccies, the P-8D uses 4 D-cells, providing great shooting duration. And in winter, it can be kept inside your clothing to ensure the batteries perform optimally. The GP-1 will be familiar to G1 & G2 owners as it will take power from the P-8 or P-8D and replace the camera's lithium battery. It can also be used on the Contax Aria.
