Mamiya Press 250mm f/5

The Mamiya Press 250mm f/5 is a long telephoto lens for the Mamiya Press and Universal Press rangefinder system, covering the 6x7 and 6x9 roll-film formats. It was the longest focal length offered for the Press line, intended for portrait, sports and landscape work where the standard 90mm and 100mm lenses lacked reach.

At UK auction the 250mm f/5 trades quietly: the most recent hammer result we have on file is £101 in August 2024, which gives a working guide to what a usable copy sells for at saleroom level today. With only a single verified UK auction hammer result on record, that figure should be read as a single data point on wholesale value rather than a firm market median, and clean examples with matching finder masks can price higher in dealer channels than the auction wholesale level suggests.
