I finally got a 55mm f4.5 SEKOR set for my Mamiya C220 and C330f after waiting years for a 'Good Price' It was just over £112 with postage so I rushed out with C220 to test around Brentwood ! I took a roll of 02/1995 outdated Ilford XP2 400 rated 125ASA -- it came out a bit 'Blotchy' but OK for first Tests. I took one at FULL APERTURE and one Stopped down on some and used a Yellow Filter for the outdoor ones - the CHURCH INTERIORS were all at FULL APERTURE and 1/15th second!
Full Aperture with Yellow Filter
No Filter and f6.3 at 1/60th sec
Full Aperture interior

Excellent work, I like the samples and I like the camera system as well.
The 55mm lens is a gem.
Thank you for sharing |

Nice classical images - I really like the calm atmosphere and the "clean" composition!
While I have a few 35mm Mamiya cameras and two or three M645, I never had a C220 or C330. Many moons ago - back in those days when every Swiss village had at least one professional photographer - I got an offer for one, but declined it in favour of bying my very first Minolta 9000

That lens deserves a roll of fresh HP-5+, or old Tx at 320.
Can't speak to the current Tri-x versions- I haven't tried them yet.
Very nice imagery 
College bud had both the C-220 and C-330. Very impressive cameras.
He didn't have anything that wide, and even back then lenses were quite steep in price.

I bought that lens together with the camera Mamiya C330 many years ago as a kit.
It is generally not exceptional (they assert that 65mm is much better) but quite decent lens. There is my pictures by it on the Fuji slide film.

Some of the symmetrical wideangles / superwides for the Mamiya 6x9 press camera seem to be ... well: underrated as well

Magical perspective, like the old and eternal large and medium format pictures.

Very nice.
One of my great regrets is selling my 330F professional aten years ago. The 220/330 cameras are superb bits of kit.
This is one of mine taken on Velvia with 80mm kit lens.

Really to say the best 80/2.8 lens was the last one in production. The precising one was only so-so, for my opinion:
