Mamiya 35
The Mamiya 35 I is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Mamiya in Japan. It belongs to the brand's mid-twentieth-century 35mm rangefinder line, positioned as a compact viewfinder camera for general photography.
With only two recorded UK auction hammer results on file (2003 and 2018), pricing data for the Mamiya 35 I is thin: those sales fell between roughly £500 and £680, which gives a midpoint near £590. Today the model trades infrequently enough that any current value estimate is indicative rather than firm, and condition of the shutter, rangefinder patch and lens glass will sell for a wide spread around that figure.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mamiya 35 I worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record, hammer prices have sat in the region of £500 to £680, so a clean working example is worth somewhere in that band, with tired examples worth less.
How much does a Mamiya 35 I sell for at auction?
The two recorded UK saleroom results show the camera selling for £500 and £678 at hammer, excluding buyer's premium.
Is the Mamiya 35 I a good buyer's price point for a vintage 35mm rangefinder?
At the prices seen so far it sits in the mid-range for Japanese fixed-lens rangefinders of the period, and value depends heavily on the condition of the shutter, rangefinder and lens.
