March 20, 2008: Phase One and Mamiya have collaborated to produce what they claim as ‘the world’s most flexible, open medium-format digital camera platform’.
Known as the Phase One 645 Camera or the Mamiya 645AFDIII, the co-developed camera platform will be sold exclusively by Phase One and Mamiya respectively. The system is designed in response to calls from professional photographers for a modular system that offers a wide variety of feature combinations plus the freedom to choose individual components from an open platform to best serve their working needs.

Designed to accept all professional digital and film camera backs, the camera platform offers the widest choice of high-end lenses, including the complete Mamiya 645 lens range, the new 28mm aspherical and D series lenses, as well as Hasselblad V-lenses and Pentacon Six lenses. It is designed to achieve shutter speeds from 1/4000 sec. to 60 min. An ergonomic moulded grip provides direct control of critical camera settings using manual dials.
