Flange-to-Film Distance Fixtures for Mamiya Cameras

Still doing spring cleaning at the shop and thought this would be a good time to show some of the fixtures used for Mamiya flange to film distance and parallelism checks/adjusments.
The left row and center are for Mamiya medium format cameras in all sizes and the right hand row is for Mamiya 35mm cameras. I use these fixtures with the surface plate shown in the photo. On the fixtures that have holes in the center, a standard gauge (two are shown in the center for Mamiya 6/7) is inserted in the hole and this is used for flange to focal length measurements. Used without the gauge, they support the camera for lens flange parallel checks/adjustment.
