What it is
{"overview":"The Ducati Simplex is a sub-miniature 35mm film camera produced in Italy by the Ducati firm in the late 1940s. As of 2026 the model trades infrequently, so what a Ducati Simplex sells for today is highly dependent on cosmetic condition, completeness of the cassette system, and whether the original lens and case are present.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter for accurate slow speeds, check the wind and rewind mechanisms for smooth operation, and look for corrosion or pitting on the chromed bodywork.

Questions
Why is the Ducati Simplex collectible?
It is an unusual post-war Italian sub-miniature from a manufacturer better known for engineering outside photography, which gives it cross-collector appeal despite limited public sales data.
