The C220 (1968) is the consumer-oriented version of the Mamiya C-series interchangeable-lens TLR. Same lens mount as the C330, same lens pairs work, same bellows focus. What's missing vs C330: **no auto-spacing of frames** (you advance and watch the frame counter on the back yourself), **no parallax-correction indicator**, **no auto-cocking** (you cock the shutter on the lens cocking lever, separate from the film advance), and **no exposure-counter reminder**. The body is 1,290 g vs the C330's 1,700 g.
