Debrie Sept

The Debrie Sept is a French-made combined still and cine camera using 35mm film, introduced in the 1920s by the Paris firm André Debrie. It was positioned as a multi-purpose instrument, designed to handle motion picture and still photography in a single spring-driven body.

Hammer prices for the Debrie Sept at recent UK auction have ranged from roughly £100 to £290, with a median near £150 across the records in our sales history. As of today, values are highly condition-sensitive: a working spring motor and the presence of original cassettes or a fitted case lift what a clean example is worth, while cosmetically tired bodies sell for less. These figures are saleroom hammer results, so what the camera sells for at retail is typically higher once premium and dealer margin are added.
