Mamiya 6

The Mamiya 6 is a medium format rangefinder introduced in 1989, shooting 6x6cm frames on 120 or 220 roll film. It uses interchangeable G-series bayonet lenses and features a collapsing lens mount that reduces body depth for transport, positioning it as a compact alternative to SLR medium format systems of its era.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Mamiya 6 have ranged from around £30 to £1,100, with a median near £310 across the sales on record. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Mamiya 6 worth today?

UK auction hammer prices range from about £30 for body-only or faulty examples up to roughly £1,100 for complete, working kits with a G-series lens, with a median around £310.

How much does a Mamiya 6 sell for at auction?

Recent UK saleroom results show the price depends heavily on whether a lens is included and whether the electronics are functional; clean working outfits have sold in the £1,000–£1,100 bracket while body-only or non-working lots have gone for under £100.

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.
