So Tom, under this situation, who looks both ways before crossing?I could put this in"Slow Day here", but its a film scan taken at TR National park in 2010, so it's here. I've managed to get my Nikon Coolscan 9000 software and Minolta DSE 5400 software working on Windows 10 - a benefit of social distancing. Pentax 645N, 80-160mm.

In this situation, crossing the street is not a good idea.So Tom, under this situation, who looks both ways before crossing?
While designed for the Mamiya 6MF, Mamiya designed a 35mm film panorama adapter with spools, mask, and rewind mechanism. Except for rewinding the film in the camera (which you can do with a 6MF), I believe it would fit in a Mamiya 6. The spools would not bind like that ones you have. It might be worth looking into if you want to do more. The Mamiya 6MF also had marks on the framelines for the panoramic format, so maybe a new camera too?I bought these 135 film adapters about a year ago and have finally tried them out on my Mamiya 6. It was not an easy use as the winding mechanism was difficult to turn, so I will not be using this setup again with the Mamiya. I have a Hasselblad 16 H magazine I will try next. For anyone interested, I would purchase this set instead, and have already ordered them.
Best to you,

Thanks Will. My Mamiya 6 is the older model, but I will look into it.While designed for the Mamiya 6MF, Mamiya designed a 35mm film panorama adapter with spools, mask, and rewind mechanism.

Just a thought...
Are you talking about the early 20th century folding camera or the late 20th century "New Mamiya 6"? I assume the latter. As I remember (I had both the 6 and 6MF), the film chamber for the 120/220 spools were the same, and Mamiya simply made holders for the 35mm cassettes. The difference in models is that the 6MF had frameline marking and a rewind slot in one of the spool tab/holder things that allowed the film to be rewound. But you can also simply rewind in a darkroom/changing bag with the 6 as you already do.Thanks Will. My Mamiya 6 is the older model, but I will look into it.

Mine is the "New Mamiya 6", as I did not want the cluttered viewfinder of the 6MF. I never saw through the 6MF viewfinder, but I read about it. I did have the Mamiya 7II and the pano kit that I never used (go figure). Sold it off a few years ago as I just like squares. I have a large changing bag, but if I wait till dark, a spare bathroom in my home makes for a perfect darkroom. Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it.Are you talking about the early 20th century folding camera or the late 20th century "New Mamiya 6"? I assume the latter.

What does this "I have way too many cameras" thing you say mean? That does not compute. I think social isolation has perhaps had a negative impact on your health, no? But you have come to the right place! No one has too many cameras at GetDPI!! Friends don't let friends have too many cameras...but I have way too many cameras!!
No, you have the better model. I did not like the 6MF viewfinder as much. Not only the clutter, but it did not seem as bright. My Mamiya 6 is one camera I could not bring myself to sell--I enjoyed using it so much and it has a lot of memories for me.Mine is the "New Mamiya 6", as I did not want the cluttered viewfinder of the 6MF.
