The Mamiya 7 (1995) is a 6x7 rangefinder with interchangeable lenses and a 60mm-base rangefinder with 0.57x magnification. The 7 II is a revision with an improved finder that reduces glare, multiple exposure and an extra strap lug. Verify rangefinder accuracy with a lens, as body/lens pairing can affect calibration.
