The C220 (1968) is the consumer-oriented version of the Mamiya C-series interchangeable-lens TLR. Same lens mount as the C330, same lens pairs work, same bellows focus. What's missing vs C330: **no auto-spacing of frames** (you advance and watch the frame counter on the back yourself), **no parallax-correction indicator**, **no auto-cocking** (you cock the shutter on the lens cocking lever, separate from the film advance), and **no exposure-counter reminder**. The body is 1,290 g vs the C330's 1,700 g.

Released 1968 alongside the C330. Variant C220f (1982) added a slightly improved focusing screen, cosmetic refinement. The C220 used the same lens pairs as every other Mamiya C-series body — a key reason it's economical to acquire today. Production ended 1982.
The C220 is the practical choice for entering the Mamiya C-series TLR system on a budget. Same lens compatibility (55, 65, 80, 105, 135, 180, 250 mm pairs), same image quality, just simpler/manual operations than the C330. For a photographer who wants 6×6 with multiple focal lengths and doesn't mind cocking the shutter manually, the C220 saves significant weight and money compared to the C330.
For 2026 buyers, a C220 + 80mm pair runs $350–500 — a third the price of a C330 with similar lens. The trade-off is real: every shot requires advancing the film with a knob, cocking the shutter on the lens, and checking the frame counter manually. The auto-features on the C330 are quality-of-life upgrades, not optical or mechanical advantages.
Same as C330: Mamiya TLR lens pairs (55/4.5, 65/3.5, 80/2.8, 105/3.5, 105/3.5 DS, 135/4.5, 180/4.5, 250/6.3). Porroflex prism finder, magnifying chimney, paramender (parallax-compensation device).
