Ducati Ducati

The Ducati is a subminiature 35mm camera produced in Italy in the late 1940s by Società Scientifica Radio Brevetti Ducati, the precision-engineering arm of the Ducati concern. It exposed a half-frame 18x24mm image on standard 35mm film loaded into proprietary cassettes, and was positioned as a high-quality precision instrument rather than a mass-market snapshot camera.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Ducati have ranged from roughly £220 to £850, with the four recorded saleroom results clustering around a median near £540 — these are wholesale hammer figures, so retail and dealer asking prices today in 2026 typically sit higher. Condition, completeness of the proprietary film cassettes, and the presence of original accessories materially affect what a Ducati sells for; tired or incomplete examples have fetched at the lower end of that range.
