Mamiya Prismat NP

The Mamiya Prismat NP is a 35mm SLR introduced by Mamiya in the early 1960s, positioned as an entry into the 35mm eye-level reflex market alongside the company's better-known medium format offerings.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Prismat NP have ranged from around £260 to £400, with a median near £300 based on the limited sales recorded. As of 2026, this remains a thinly traded model, so today's value is heavily dependent on cosmetic condition, working shutter, and the presence of the original standard lens; a tidy, functional example sells for more than a shelf-queen body alone.
