Mamiya M645 Super
The Mamiya M645 Super is a medium format SLR introduced in 1985, exposing 6x4.5cm frames on 120 and 220 roll film. It replaced the earlier M645 1000S and adopted a modular layout with interchangeable film backs, viewfinders and focusing screens, positioning it as a more system-oriented body for studio and location work.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the M645 Super have ranged from around £220 to just over £1,000, with a median close to £280 across the last seven recorded sales. In 2024 and 2025 saleroom results have been polarised: stripped or body-only lots have sold for £270–£525, while a complete outfit with prism, back and 80mm Sekor C reached £1,025 in October 2025. As of 2026 the camera's value at auction is closely tied to whether the lot includes a working AE prism, a 120 insert and a clean standard lens.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mamiya M645 Super worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer prices sit around a £280 median, with body-only or partial lots typically selling for £220–£330 and complete outfits with prism, back and 80mm lens reaching £500–£1,000.
How much does a Mamiya M645 Super sell for at auction?
Across 2024–2025 sales the price has ranged from £270 for a basic example to £1,025 for a full kit, so the configuration of the lot is the main driver of value.
Why is there such a wide price range for the M645 Super?
Because the camera is modular, a body alone is worth far less than the same body paired with a metered prism, a 120 film insert and a Sekor C lens, and condition of the foam seals and meter also affects the final hammer price.
