Mamiya 35mm Camera Price Information
With the rapid growth of the digital market the recent prices for old, non-prestige, film cameras has declined in many areas. The following table describes recent average U.S. dollar prices for working Mamiya 35mm cameras (it also includes the original 120-film, medium-format Mamiya-6 folders). This reference only considers cameras found to be in the very good category, or better, for both cosmetic appearance and functionality (see table link below). This table was last updated January 16, 2010.

All prices are estimates, based on average auction selling prices from my own experience, or as indicated in McKeown's 2005-2006 Price Guide to Antique and Classic Cameras © September 1, 2004; McBroom's Camera Bluebook, 6th Edition © 2000; or one of several online subscription services. It should be understood that the prices listed are only averages taken from a statistically significant number of auctions, and cameras will be found that sell for much more (or much less) than the listed average, depending on the mood of the buyer and seller at any given moment. No actual selling price is either implied or guaranteed.

Conditions Affecting Camera Value
I believe collectible cameras should be judged on a combination of cosmetic condition and functionality. I also know that people value cameras in distinct and different ways. For instance, a camera in mint cosmetic condition, but not functioning, may be perfectly acceptable to a collector. On the other hand, a user may not care much about the appearance of the camera, as long as it works well. Link to my General Rating Table for my descriptions for both cosmetic value and functionality of used cameras.
