Mark: Uncommon today, the Mamiya 4B was introduced about 1961. It was a coupled rangefinder 35mm with a built-in selenium meter, lever advance and double-exposure control. It was equipped with a Mamiya Kominar 40mm f/2.8 lens. Today one in good, usable condition would sell for $50-75. If looking for an instruction manual, check out www.craigcamera.com. I have a web site about the Mamiya 35mm line at http://herron.50megs.com.
