Foth Foth-flex II
The Foth-flex II is a German-made twin-lens reflex roll-film camera dating from the 1930s. Foth marketed it as a compact, lower-cost TLR alternative to larger format twin-lens designs of the period.
At recent UK auction, Foth-flex II hammer prices have sat in a narrow £40–£88 band across the two recorded saleroom results, with the more recent January 2025 sale reaching the higher end. With so few data points, what a Foth-flex II is worth in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition and shutter function, and a clean, working example will sell for noticeably more than a shelf-display body.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Foth-flex II worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer results put the value of a Foth-flex II between roughly £40 and £88, depending on condition and shutter performance.
How much does a Foth-flex II sell for at auction?
The two most recent UK saleroom results were £40 in August 2024 and £88 in January 2025, so most examples currently sell for a price in that range.
Is the Foth-flex II a good user camera?
It can be, but only if the shutter and lenses are clean — service parts are scarce, so the price you pay should reflect the working condition rather than just the cosmetics.
