Mamiya 150mm f/4.5
The Mamiya 7 150mm f/4.5 is a medium-telephoto lens for the Mamiya 7 and 7 II rangefinder system, covering the 6x7 format. With its moderate maximum aperture and rangefinder-coupled design, it was intended as a portrait and short-telephoto option alongside the system's wider primes, and remains valued for its compact size relative to the negative it covers.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for this lens have ranged from £119 in January 2023 to £164 in October 2025, giving a midpoint of around £142 across the limited sales on record. With only two saleroom results to draw on, the data points to a working market in the £120–£165 band as of today, though clean, complete copies with original hood and caps tend to push toward the upper end of what the lens sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mamiya 7 150mm f/4.5 worth at UK auction?
Recent UK hammer results sit between £119 and £164, so a clean working example is currently worth roughly £120–£165 at saleroom level.
How much does a Mamiya 7 150mm f/4.5 sell for today?
The most recent recorded sale was £164 in October 2025, which is a reasonable guide to what tidy copies sell for in the present market.
Does condition affect the price significantly?
Yes — fungus, haze, oily blades or coating damage will pull the value below the £119 floor seen in the data, while complete sets with hood and caps support the higher end of the range.
Is the 150mm rare compared with other Mamiya 7 lenses?
It is one of the less commonly traded focal lengths in the system, which is reflected in the thin sales record rather than any documented production scarcity.
