jon_shumpert2 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Today I was lucky and scored a Mamiya C330 and C220 in a trade for some other gear. The 330 seems to be in excellent condition but has one problem I found while cleaning it. The foam between the focusing screen and the holder had turned to both a black dust and goo. I want to replace it but the foam seems thinner than that I have used for light seals for camera backs. Does anyone know where to get replacement foam for it or what the thickness should be. This is my go to place to get help. The C220 is in decent working condition, but has a bunch of wear. They both have 80mm lenses, so I'm debating selling the 220 to finance another lens. Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_shumpert2 Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Just wanted to add one more question. What would be a good strap for the C330. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_shumpert2 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Mamiya C330f - focus screen foam replacement advice please Thanks. I really shouldn't post a question when I'm sleepy, or when I haven't searched for the answer here first. I feel a little embarrassed. I did the search and found quite a bit of helpful info.

c_watson1 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Thankfully, the Mamiya TLRs didn't have the strap lugs that made later RB67 models difficult to "strap." Whatever your choice, make sure you get a well-padded neck/shoulder pad. The TLRs aren't light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered light seals for the camera body and focus screen and they should arrive tomorrow. Hopefully, I can take it out next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
