Adox Kamerawerk Adox 300
The Adox 300 is a 35mm viewfinder camera produced by the West German maker Adox Kamerawerk. It dates to the mid-1950s and was positioned as a compact rangefinder-style still camera for amateur use.
At UK auction in 2025, hammer prices for the Adox 300 ranged from about £25 to £80, with the two recorded results sitting either side of a roughly £50 midpoint. As of 2026 the model trades as a low-value collector item at saleroom level, and what an example is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the shutter and film transport are working.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
