Mamiya Mamiyaflex TLR
The Mamiyaflex is a Japanese twin-lens reflex camera shooting 6x6 frames on 120 roll film. Production of the Mamiyaflex line began in the 1950s, positioning the camera as a medium-format TLR for enthusiast and professional use.
At UK auction in 2026, hammer prices for Mamiyaflex TLR bodies sit in a £38–£76 band across recent saleroom results, with a median near £56. These are wholesale hammer figures rather than dealer retail, and condition — including shutter accuracy, lens clarity and the state of the viewing hood — is what moves a body toward the upper end of the range.
