Many additional features and improvements were added and Mamiya sold almost 400,000 Mamiya-6 cameras within 20 years.

When World War II ended in 1945 after suffering material and labour shortages Mamiya was very fortunate to receive massive camera orders from the United States Central P.X. Procurement Office. As a result, Mamiya was able to build a new, larger factory in Tokyo City, where the Mamiya-Sekor name originated. The prosperous business that the Mamiya 6 brought to the company meant that they were able to restore manufacturing facilities much sooner than other manufacturers. Product development was also able to begin within a relatively short period of time, and in 1948 Mamiya introduced Japan�s first flash synchronized TLR camera, the Mamiya Flex, as well as 35mm cameras and the first of a line of 16mm subminiature cameras. For further information on 35mm cameras, we recommend that you visit Ron Herron's website.
