Mamiya RB67 Golden Lizard

The Mamiya RB67 Golden Lizard is a limited special-edition version of the Mamiya RB67, the company's 6×7 medium-format SLR system, distinguished by gold-toned metalwork and a lizard-pattern body covering. It was issued as a collector variant of the professional RB67 platform rather than as a working tool for general photography.

Recorded hammer prices for the Golden Lizard in the UK auction market are sparse: the three documented saleroom results run from £1,100 to £2,000, with a median of £1,400, and all fall between 2004 and 2006. Heading into 2026 more recent auction evidence is thin, so what a Golden Lizard is worth today depends heavily on condition of the decorative finish and completeness of the kit, and any given example can sell for well outside that historical band. These are wholesale auction-hammer figures, not dealer asking prices.
