Mamiya 55mm f/4.5
The Mamiya TLR 55mm f/4.5 is a wide-angle lens pair for the Mamiya C-series twin lens reflex cameras, including bodies such as the C220, C330 and their f and s successors. With a 55mm focal length it sits below the 65mm wide option and the standard 80mm, and was designed for architectural, interior and landscape work on 6x6 roll film where the taking lens is paired with a matching viewing lens on a single bayonet plate.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 55mm f/4.5 have ranged from £70 up to £130, with a median sitting around £80 based on the four saleroom results on file. The most recent 2025 sale at £130 suggests the lens is worth a little more today than the £70–£80 levels seen between 2018 and 2023, though with only a handful of wholesale results the price a clean copy sells for can still swing significantly with cosmetic and shutter condition.
