Adams Minex Reflex (DeLuxe)

The Adams Minex Reflex (DeLuxe) is a British single-lens reflex plate camera from the early twentieth century, made by Adams & Co. of London. It was positioned as a high-end professional SLR in its day, built around a leather-covered wooden body with a focal-plane shutter.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Minex Reflex (DeLuxe) have ranged from around £70 to £220, with the two recorded sales sitting roughly £140 apart and a midpoint near £140. With so few results on record, today's value is highly condition-sensitive: a complete example with a working shutter and original lens sells for considerably more than a tired body, and what one sells for in the saleroom turns largely on cosmetic condition and mechanical function.
