Mamiya DM-series Digital Camera Backs

The Mamiya DM22, DM28, DM33, DM40, DM56 and now DM80 Digital camera systems

Bringing Together the World's Professional Imaging Leaders.

No Constraints

Mamiya has partnered with fellow professional photographic industry world leaders Schneider, Phase One and Leaf to produce the best of all worlds – to produce a new professional digital cameras, the DM22, DM28, M33, DM40, DM56 and DM80, designed to deliver the highest attainable image quality in most any professional photography situation.

Featuring 22, 28, 33, 40 56 and 80 megapixel sensors precision-matched with the world's greatest optics results in exquisitely detailed image files, even when harshly cropped. The large sensors (up to 56mm) coupled with a lush 16 bit/channel color palette, provide exceptional color accuracy and rich high dynamic range photographs in just a single capture. Other digital camera systems simply cannot compare!

Shutter Technology Breakthrough

The heart of the DM series backs systems is the new "DF" camera-core technology, developed by Mamiya, featuring two user-selectable shutter systems - leaf or focal plane.

In demanding daylight situations, photographers can use one of three new leaf-shuttered lenses (55mm, 80mm, 110mm), designed by Schneider-Kreuznach and manufactured by Mamiya, for predictable high speed flash synchronization to fill-in or overpower even the brightest ambient light. For more conventional situations, photographers can choose to use one of 15 other world-class Mamiya optics, from 28mm to 300mm APO, designed for use with the cameras' focal plane shutter system.

Regardless of shutter choice, photographers can look forward to the DM back's faster autofocus technology, as well as improved ergonomics and performance accuracy.

World's Widest Pro Software Compatibility

Mamiya recognizes that stellar camera performance is of little value without equally powerful software options. That is why Mamiya offers photographers the flexibility of processing files using either of the included software solutions: Capture One™ by Phase One or Leaf Capture™, or you can choose to use Adobe Lightroom™ (not included) allowing the widest variety of professional processing software options available.
