Mamiya C220

The Mamiya C220 is a medium format twin-lens reflex camera using 120 and 220 roll film. Part of Mamiya's C-series TLR system, it was positioned as a lighter, simpler alternative to the C330, while retaining the system's distinguishing feature of interchangeable bayonet-mount Sekor lenses and bellows focusing.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for C220 bodies (most lotted with the standard 80mm Sekor) have typically fallen in the £110–£250 band, with a median around £150 across the sales on record. Outliers stretch the full range to roughly £75–£500, with the top end reserved for clean multi-lens outfits; condition of the bellows, shutter accuracy, and the presence of extra lenses are the main drivers of variance.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Mamiya C220 sell for at UK auction?

Hammer prices typically sit between about £110 and £250, with a median near £150; exceptional multi-lens outfits have reached £500.

What is the difference between the C220 and C330?

The C220 is the lighter, simpler model in the C-series, without the C330's crank wind and automatic film-stop mechanism, but it uses the same interchangeable Sekor TLR lenses.

Does the Mamiya C220 take interchangeable lenses?

Yes — it uses the Mamiya TLR bayonet mount shared across the C-series, with Sekor lenses from 55mm up to 250mm available on the used market.

What film does the C220 use?

It takes 120 and 220 roll film, producing 6x6cm square negatives.

What should I check when buying a used C220?

Test the bellows for light leaks, fire the shutter through all speeds to check for slow-speed drag, and confirm the viewing screen and focus mechanism are clean and smooth.
