What it is
{"overview":"The Mamiya 6 is a medium format rangefinder introduced in 1989, shooting 6x6cm frames on 120 or 220 roll film. The spread is wide because body-only or faulty examples sell for very little, while complete kits with a working 75mm G lens are where the higher figures sit; in today's market, condition and lens inclusion are the main value drivers, and electronic faults in the shutter or metering can push a saleroom result down to double digits.","buying_guide":"Inspect the electronically controlled shutter and meter carefully, as Mamiya 6 bodies are prone to electronic faults that are difficult and expensive to repair given limited parts availability. Check the collapsing lens mount for smooth operation, confirm rangefinder patch alignment, and look for light seal deterioration around the film back.

Versions and how to tell them apart
Questions
Why is there such a wide price range for the Mamiya 6?
The value is driven primarily by lens inclusion and the condition of the shutter and meter electronics, so a functional kit and a dead body can sell for very different sums at the same auction.
Is the Mamiya 6 a good buy for a film shooter?
It offers 6x6 negatives in a comparatively compact rangefinder body, but buyers should factor in the risk of electronic failure and limited service support when judging whether the price is fair.
