The Mamiya 6 MF was introduced in 1993. It includes an adapter that allows 6×4.5 cm formatted images to be produced.

The two new features added additional lines to. I just got off the phone with Mamiya USA and I've been told that the first letter of the serial number is coded for the year the item was made. For example, I was told A=2001, B=2002, C=2003 and that P=2000.
