Dallmeyer (J.H.) 1¼ Inch f/1.9 Super Six
The Dallmeyer 1¼ Inch f/1.9 Super Six is a high-speed cine lens with a 31.75mm focal length and an f/1.9 maximum aperture, made by the London optical house J.H. Dallmeyer. It belongs to the classic Super Six line, designed for small-format motion picture cameras of the mid-twentieth century.
UK auction evidence for this lens is thin: a single recorded hammer result from May 2025 at £562 (saleroom level, before commissions) gives the only firm price anchor for what a Dallmeyer 1¼ Inch f/1.9 Super Six is worth in today's market. With just one data point, the median and range collapse to that same figure, so anyone asking how much one sells for in 2026 should treat £562 as indicative rather than definitive, and expect condition, mount and presentation to swing the actual value either way.
