Mamiya Prismat
The Mamiya Prismat is a 35mm SLR camera produced by the Japanese maker Mamiya. It belongs to the brand's earlier generation of single-lens reflex bodies aimed at the consumer 35mm market.
Sales data for the Prismat is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result from January 2025 saw an example sell for £38. With only one wholesale saleroom data point on record, today's market value should be treated as indicative rather than firm, and condition will materially affect what any individual body sells for.

Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mamiya Prismat worth today?
Based on the limited sales evidence available, a Mamiya Prismat sold at UK auction for £38 in early 2025. With only one recorded hammer price, this should be regarded as a guide rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Mamiya Prismat sell for at auction?
The most recent recorded UK hammer price was £38, achieved in January 2025. Clean, fully working examples may sell for more, while non-working bodies typically sell for less.
Is the Mamiya Prismat a good buy at this price?
At under £50 the Prismat is inexpensive, but the value of any purchase depends heavily on the camera's mechanical condition and whether the shutter and meter (where fitted) still function correctly.
