Mamiya RB67

The Mamiya RB67 is a medium format 6x7 single-lens reflex camera introduced in 1970, designed for professional studio and portrait use. It uses a bellows focusing system, a rotating film back that allows horizontal and vertical framing without turning the camera, and interchangeable leaf-shutter Sekor lenses. Its all-mechanical operation made it a workhorse in commercial studios throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Hammer prices at recent UK auction for the RB67 have spanned roughly £75–£500, with a median around £320 based on the sales recorded here. Today in 2026 the price a body sells for is heavily condition-dependent: clean, working outfits with a lens and back fetch the upper end, while rough or incomplete bodies often change hands for under £200. Because these are saleroom hammer figures, the retail value asked by dealers for serviced examples typically sits meaningfully above this range.
