Mamiya 7
The Mamiya 7 is a 6×7 medium format rangefinder for 120 and 220 roll film, launched in the mid-1990s with a bayonet mount for Mamiya's N-series leaf-shutter lenses. It was positioned as a lightweight, hand-holdable alternative to bulkier 6×7 SLRs, aimed at landscape, documentary and travel photographers who wanted large-negative quality in a rangefinder body.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for Mamiya 7 bodies and kits have typically fallen in the £1,100–£3,100 range, with a median close to £2,500 — wholesale saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. Two 2025 sales cleared £2,800 and £3,100, reflecting the continued strength of medium format film demand in today's market, while a body-only lot in October 2025 sold for around £1,100, showing how much kit completeness and included N-series lenses affect what a Mamiya 7 is worth. Condition of the rangefinder patch, light seals and electronics materially changes the price a clean example sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mamiya 7 worth at UK auction today?
Recent hammer results sit roughly between £1,100 and £3,100, with a median around £2,500 depending on whether the lot is body-only or includes an N-series lens.
How much does a Mamiya 7 sell for with a lens?
Kits with the 80mm standard lens have recently sold for £2,500–£3,100 at auction, while body-only examples have sold closer to £1,100.
Why does the price of a Mamiya 7 vary so much?
Value is driven mainly by included lenses, cosmetic and mechanical condition, and whether the shutter and rangefinder have been recently serviced.
Is the Mamiya 7 the same as the Mamiya 7 II?
No — the Mamiya 7 is the earlier body; the later Mamiya 7 II is a separate model and is priced separately in the market.
