Corfield (K.G.) Periflex 3
The Corfield Periflex 3 is a British-made 35mm film camera produced by K.G. Corfield in the 1950s. It is a compact body positioned at the budget end of the UK 35mm market when new.
At recent UK auction, Periflex 3 hammer prices have sat in a narrow £75–£88 band across the three recorded sales, with a median of around £80 — a level that reflects wholesale saleroom values rather than dealer retail. As of 2026, this is what a clean working example sells for, and condition of the viewfinder optics and shutter cloth has a direct bearing on what the camera is worth.
