Arnold Karma-Flex (6x6, Model II)
The Arnold Karma-Flex (6x6, Model II) is a medium-format roll-film camera producing 6x6 cm negatives. It is a low-production model from the mid-twentieth century European camera trade, and surviving examples appear infrequently on the collector market.
Sales data for the Karma-Flex Model II is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £6,875 (wholesale, excluding commission) in November 2002 is the only reference point we have, so today there is no current price band that can be quoted with confidence. Buyers asking what an Arnold Karma-Flex is worth or what one sells for in 2026 should treat that historic figure as indicative of rarity rather than a reliable guide to present value, and expect significant variation depending on cosmetic condition and completeness.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Arnold Karma-Flex (6x6, Model II) worth today?
There is insufficient recent sales data to give a reliable market price; the only recorded UK auction hammer result is £6,875 from 2002, and any current value would depend heavily on condition and buyer interest at the time of sale.
How much does an Arnold Karma-Flex Model II sell for at auction?
On the single verified UK auction record available, an example achieved a hammer price of £6,875, but with so few comparables this should not be taken as a guaranteed price band.
Is the Arnold Karma-Flex a rare camera?
Yes — it appears very seldom in saleroom listings, which is why establishing a typical value or range is difficult.
