What it is

The Ensign Multex Model 0 is a British-made compact folding camera produced by the Ensign brand (Houghton-Butcher, London) in the late 1930s. It is the smallest body in the Multex series and was positioned as a precision-built strut-folding camera for serious amateurs.

Inspect the bellows for pinholes, check that the struts open square and lock firmly, and verify the shutter fires accurately at all marked speeds, as service support for this model is now limited to specialist repairers. Lens glass should be free of separation and heavy cleaning marks, and the chrome and leatherette covering should be intact since cosmetic condition has a strong influence on value.

Questions

Is the Ensign Multex Model 0 a good collector's camera?

It appeals to collectors of British interwar folding cameras, and its value depends heavily on bellows integrity, shutter accuracy and overall cosmetic condition.

Why do prices for the Multex Model 0 vary so much?

The wide price spread reflects differences in lens and shutter fitment, working condition, and rarity of certain variants, all of which strongly affect what the camera sells for.
