Mamiya M7 6 x 7cm rangefinder with superwide

March 8th 1995, updated March 22nd The following items received on our e-mail from John Hicks of John's Camera Shop (USA, not sure where): Just in case you haven't heard, the Mamiya M7 is about to hit the streets. Mark at Mamiya America says it's a 6x7 RF camera very similar to the M6MF, and will have available a 43mm lens w/external viewfinder, a 65mm lens, an 80mm lens and a 150mm lens. Sadly, the lenses will not fit the M6 or vice-versa.
Got some price info on the Mamiya 7 today (March 22nd)... prices are US MAP (minimum advertised price): Also got a nice brochure straight from Mamiya in Japan...in Japanese! No idea what it says. The official word from Mamiya America is that it'll be shipping in July.
