Mamiya C330s

The Mamiya C330s is a 6×6 medium format twin-lens reflex with interchangeable lenses, the final iteration of the C330 line. It uses 120 roll film and accepts the Mamiya TLR bayonet lens range, positioning it as a professional studio and location TLR when sold in the 1980s.

At UK auction today, hammer prices for the C330s typically fall in the £120–£690 range, with a median around £300 based on recent saleroom results. Clean bodies sold with a working 80mm f/2.8 standard lens push toward the upper end, while body-only or cosmetically tired examples sell for less; the 2024 result of £625 and the £688 paid in 2023 reflect what a complete, well-presented outfit is worth in the current market.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Mamiya C330s worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer prices sit in the £120–£690 range, with a median of about £300; a complete outfit with the 80mm standard lens is worth more than a body alone.

How much does a Mamiya C330s sell for at auction?

Typical hammer results over the last two years have been between £220 and £325 for average examples, with clean kits selling for £560–£690.

Is the C330s the same as the C330f?

No — the C330s is the later, final variant in the C330 series and is a different model from the C330f, though both share the same lens mount and 6×6 format.

Does the price include the lens?

It depends on the listing; auction prices for body-only examples are at the lower end of the range, while the higher results almost always include at least the 80mm f/2.8 taking/viewing lens pair.
