Shooting with the Mamiya 645 Vintage
A six-lens vintage medium-format cine set — 45, 55, 80, 80 macro, 110 and 150mm — available in E, EF or RF mount. Because these are medium-format designs, they cover full frame, VistaVision and large-format cinema sensors with room to spare, and they render with the gentle, slightly dreamy quality that medium-format glass is prized for. The 80mm macro in the set means you get close-up capability without a separate booking.
Medium-format glass is larger and heavier than equivalent cine primes. If you are working handheld or on a gimbal, factor that into the support package.
Mamiya 645 Vintage Rental FAQs
Why rent medium-format glass for cinema?
Coverage and character. The larger image circle handles any modern large-format sensor, and the rendering is softer and more three-dimensional than most cine primes.
Does the set include a macro?
Yes — an 80mm macro is part of the six-lens set, so close-up work does not need a separate rental.
