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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mamiya RB67 worth today?
Based on recent UK auction hammer results the RB67 is worth roughly £75 to £500, with a median around £320 depending on condition and what lens and back are included.
How much does a Mamiya RB67 sell for at auction?
Complete, working outfits have sold for £400–£500 at UK auctions, while body-only or cosmetically tired examples have sold for as little as £75.
Is the Mamiya RB67 a good value in the used medium format market?
For a 6x7 SLR system with interchangeable lenses and a rotating back, the price remains modest compared with comparable professional medium format gear, which is why buyers still actively seek them out.
Does the RB67 need batteries?
No — the RB67 is fully mechanical, with the shutter housed in the lens, so it operates without any battery.
