I have owned several Mamiya Six folders over the years, but I've not previously seen this budget version. This one is from 1955 or later. His disappointment with the lens may relate to its being a triplet rather than the more common 4 element Tessar copies from Mamiya or Olympus used on the regular versions. It should be sharp if used around 8.0-11.0. Or, he may be getting flare to soften the images, as the Mamiya Six in any post-war versions seems to suffer from bad lens coatings.
I'm not familiar with Kominar. Did a little research. Apparently a Kolimar is a triplet whereas Kolimar S is a Tessar type (better). Your pics look good as far as I can tell given RUclips's limitations. As for carrying, I carry my folders in a fanny pack. Nice presentation.
Nice video ! Thank you. I just bought the Mamiya 6 Automate from eBay, can't wait to get it. How much you paid it 2 years ago ? I bought mine for 130$.
The ergonomics of this camera are debateble. But your Kominar lens isn't. Unless you applied a lot of photoshopping, judging by the photographs, your Kominar is a top notch tessar design. Most of the Mamiya Six cameras were sold with the excellent Zuiko lenses, but they become hazy with age. Your Kominar clearly hasn't.

Thanks for this, I was about to buy one but I'll wait for a better one to come available.
