A. The AFD and AFD II accept digital backs made by Mamiya, Leaf, Phase One, and Kodak. The original AF works with some of the earlier backs from Kodak, Megavision and several others. Only the AFD/AFD II, with the MSCE feature (Mamiya Serial Communication for External) can communicate with the current generation of digital backs and display information on the cameras LCD screen and in the finder. A 645AF camera may be upgraded to an AFD by the Mamiya Service Dept. For more details, download the 645AF/AFD Upgrade Features Chart.
