Mamiya ZE Silver
The Mamiya ZE Silver is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Mamiya during its late-1970s and early-1980s push into electronic 35mm SLRs. It was positioned as an entry-level body in Mamiya's ZE line at launch.
Sales data for the ZE Silver is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result from September 2025 records a sale at £15, so any guide to current value is indicative rather than firm. At saleroom level today the camera trades as a low-cost user body, and what one sells for will depend heavily on cosmetic condition and whether a working lens is included.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mamiya ZE Silver worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction evidence available, a ZE Silver has sold for around £15 at hammer, so its current value as a user body is modest.
How much does a Mamiya ZE Silver sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price in our data is £15 from September 2025, which suggests the price for a typical example sits at the low end of the 35mm SLR market.
Is the Mamiya ZE Silver a good buy?
As a budget 35mm SLR it can be a reasonable purchase if tested working, but given how cheaply they change hands, paying for a CLA rarely makes economic sense.
