Is there any real difference between the C330, C330F & C330S? _________________ Casual attendance these days |

Graham Patterson site for Mamiya TLR System Summary is no longer maintained. The 'S'
is the most advanced, last in the series (1983) and has parallax compensation indicators
in the VF. It's also lighter weight as later models had more and more plastic in them. |

Thanks Bill. Did build quality suffer from being more plastic? _________________ Casual attendance these days |

I'm thinking they still hold up pretty well, plastic or no. The 'S'
model would be the one to get, cuz who wants to use that
goofy paramender? With my old C2, I just raise it a little
for close-ups, works well, (most of the time ). |

They do, but from what I've read instead of a little arrow on the viewscreen to
indicate where you focus, the S has frame lines that adjust automatically to
compensate for parallax, much better/less fiddly deal. Now I could be wrong,
too.
Yep, i was wrong. Uses the same dial to select lens focal length and has
the arrow indicator on the focusing screen:
