The Mamiya Sekor C 55mm f/2.8 N is a standard prime lens designed for the Mamiya 645 medium format system. The "N" suffix denotes an updated optical formula compared to the earlier 55mm f/2.8 version, incorporating refinements to coating and rendering performance. On the 6x4.5cm format, 55mm provides a natural standard angle of view equivalent to approximately 35mm in 35mm terms. The "N" designation indicates a revised optical construction compared to the earlier non-N version, with improvements to multi-coating and overall rendering characteristics. The updated formula delivers improved contrast and flare resistance over its predecessor. The bright f/2.8 maximum aperture is notable for a medium format standard lens, allowing for selective focus and improved performance in lower light c.
