Contessa Miroflex

The Contessa Miroflex is an early 20th-century German plate camera. It belongs to the single-lens reflex category of folding/box-form plate cameras that preceded the roll-film era.

With only two UK auction hammer results on record (wholesale saleroom prices, excluding commissions), the Miroflex has sold for between £180 and £340, and as of today in 2026 this thin data set gives a midpoint worth around £260. Because so few examples have come to market, any single sale can shift what a Miroflex sells for, and condition of the bellows, shutter and ground-glass focusing screen drives most of the price variation.
