Asahi Pentax Pentax 6x7

The Pentax 6x7 is a medium-format single-lens reflex camera producing 6x7cm negatives on 120 and 220 roll film. Introduced by Asahi in 1969, it was positioned as a studio-and-location alternative to Hasselblad and Mamiya for photographers who wanted an SLR handling much like an oversized 35mm body.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Pentax 6x7 have ranged from roughly £280 to £850, with a median close to £440 across 2024–2026 saleroom results. As of today in 2026, the price a Pentax 6x7 sells for is driven largely by condition and whether a metered prism and working lens are included — the £850 result in early 2025 reflected a complete, clean outfit, while bare bodies with wear sit nearer the lower end.
