Mamiya purchase - purchase of Mamiya cameras and Mamiya lenses
Mamiya has been successful with its analog medium format cameras since the 1970s. Today, Mamiya cameras such as the Mamiya 645, Mamiya RZ67 or the Mamiya RB67 are in great demand on the used market, especially because of their good price-performance ratio . Getting started with medium format photography with these Mamiya models is comparatively inexpensive compared to, for example, a Hasselblad V system.

These cameras are rarely found on the used market in Germany. That's why we're particularly happy if you can offer such a camera and pay correspondingly good purchase prices.
Most offers come from Japan and the USA. Buying such a camera there and importing it to Germany via parcel post is not a problem in itself if you know the customs modalities: The customs duty for imported analog cameras is 4.2% of the value of the goods, and import VAT of currently 19% is then levied on the total. You pay this at the nearest customs office, where the package can be picked up, or directly to the postman if the sender has correctly declared the goods and stated the value of the goods. A Mamiya 7 for €3,000 from Ebay, imported from the USA, ultimately costs €3,720 and is at least no longer a “bargain”. You can get a workshop-tested camera with a warranty at similar prices at fotohandel.de, with quick delivery and more uncomplicated Return if not satisfied.
