Mamiya Universal and Polaroid 600 SE lenses

Hello, Friends,

 

Could somebody tell me if there is a relatively easy way

to distinguish between Mamiya Universal and Polaroid 600 SE

lenses? I know Mamiya made 127mm, 150mm and 75mm lenses for

both systems. Short of trying them on actual bodies, is there

a way to identify them by looking at photos of them, say the

mount, the wording on the filter ring, etc? So far I noticed

all the Polaroid lenses were marked Mamiya, not Mamiya-Sekor.

Is that always the case? Thanks.

 

Cheers,

The Polaroid lenses have a knurled rubber focusing grip. The Mamiya Press/Universal lenses have grooved metal grips. I have an inkling that the only exception to this *might* be very, very late 127mm Universal lenses.

Thanks, Ray. This should be very helpful.
