Mamiya 7

The Mamiya 7 is a 6×7 medium format rangefinder for 120 and 220 roll film, launched in the mid-1990s with a bayonet mount for Mamiya's N-series leaf-shutter lenses. It was positioned as a lightweight, hand-holdable alternative to bulkier 6×7 SLRs, aimed at landscape, documentary and travel photographers who wanted large-negative quality in a rangefinder body.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for Mamiya 7 bodies and kits have typically fallen in the £1,100–£3,100 range, with a median close to £2,500 — wholesale saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. Two 2025 sales cleared £2,800 and £3,100, reflecting the continued strength of medium format film demand in today's market, while a body-only lot in October 2025 sold for around £1,100, showing how much kit completeness and included N-series lenses affect what a Mamiya 7 is worth. Condition of the rangefinder patch, light seals and electronics materially changes the price a clean example sells for.
