Mamiya 180mm f/4.5
The Mamiya TLR 180mm f/4.5 is a telephoto lens for the Mamiya C-series twin-lens reflex system, intended for use on bodies such as the C220, C330 and their f/s variants. As a short tele on 6x6, it was designed for portraiture, stage work and other subjects where the standard 80mm is too wide.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 180mm f/4.5 have typically sat in the £20–£50 band, with a median close to £25 from the sales on file. The range stretches from £12 at the low end up to £90 for a stronger example in April 2023, and as of today in 2026 most clean, working copies still sell for well under £100 at saleroom level — these are wholesale results before buyer's and seller's premiums, so retail asking prices from dealers are usually higher.
