Mamiya 645E
The Mamiya 645E is a medium format SLR using 120/220 roll film in the 6×4.5cm format. It was positioned as a simplified, lighter entry point into the Mamiya 645 manual-focus system aimed at photographers who wanted the format without the modular complexity of the Pro variants.
Sales evidence for the 645E is thin: a single UK auction record from July 2025 shows a hammer price of £275 at saleroom level, which sets the only current reference point for what a 645E sells for today. With just one data point, that figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value, and condition, included lens and finder will move the price materially in either direction.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mamiya 645E worth today?
Based on the only UK auction record available, a 645E body recently sold for £275 at hammer; with so little data, the worth of any given example will depend heavily on condition and whether a lens is included.
How much does a Mamiya 645E sell for at auction?
The one verified UK saleroom result shows £275 as a hammer price in 2025, which is the best current guide to what the 645E sells for in the wholesale auction market.
Is the Mamiya 645E a good value entry into medium format?
At around the £275 price point seen at auction, the 645E offers a relatively low-cost route into 6×4.5 shooting, though buyers should budget separately for a lens and factor in the body's reliance on working electronics.
