The C3 Professional is part of the MAMIYA C series of professional level TLR cameras which offers high quality optics, interchangeable lens-shutter assembly, and bellows focusing for extreme close range photography.
The interchangeable lens-shutter assembly system offers two major advantages over most standard TLRs:
-The shutter is part of this assembly and is therefore completely separate from the camera. This means a faulty shutter, the weakest part of a camera, can easily be dealt with by swapping the lens, allowing you to continue working on your project without disruption. The faulty lens/shutter assembly can then be sent for repair, while you keep on using the camera with other lenses.
- The same TLR camera can be used for studio portraits or fashion photography, and wide angle photography, say for wedding or corporate group shots.
