Mamiya RB67 Professional

The Mamiya RB67 Professional is a 6x7 medium format SLR introduced in 1970 as the first model in the RB67 system. It uses a rotating back (the 'RB' designation) that allows the film holder to switch between portrait and landscape orientation without turning the body, and was positioned for studio and commercial photographers working on tripod.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the RB67 Professional body have ranged from £320 to £600, with a median around £525 in 2025 — these are saleroom wholesale results excluding commission rather than dealer retail figures. What a clean example is worth today depends heavily on the condition of the bellows, focusing screen and waist-level finder, and outfits bundled with a 90mm Sekor and a 120 back typically sell for more than a bare body.
