Mamiya C330f

The Mamiya C330f is a medium format twin-lens reflex camera that accepts interchangeable lens pairs, shooting 6x6 negatives on 120 film. Introduced in the 1970s as part of Mamiya's professional C-series TLR line, it was positioned as a studio and portrait workhorse with bellows focusing for close work.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the C330f body have spanned roughly £110 to £630, with most 2024–2025 results clustering between £140 and £400 and a median around £190. Today the camera still sells for well under its 1970s replacement cost, though condition of the bellows, shutter accuracy of the paired Sekor lens, and completeness of the focus screen and waist-level finder drive a clear premium at saleroom level.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Mamiya C330f worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer prices sit between about £110 and £630, with a median near £190; a clean, working body with one Sekor lens typically sells for £150–£400.

How much does a Mamiya C330f sell for at auction?

Most 2024–2025 saleroom results for the C330f fall in the £140–£400 range, with exceptional outfits including multiple lenses pushing higher.

Is the C330f the same as the C330?

No — the C330f is the later 'f' revision of the C330 with a lighter body and redesigned finder, and it is priced separately from the earlier C330 and the later C330s in the auction market.

What affects the price and value of a C330f?

Bellows condition, shutter accuracy on the paired Sekor lens, completeness of the waist-level finder and focus screen, and whether the sale includes additional lenses are the main factors that move the price.
