Gallus Derlux
The Gallus Derlux is a French-made 35mm viewfinder camera produced in the post-war era. It was sold as a compact everyday picture-taker rather than a professional instrument.
With only a single hammer result on file, the Gallus Derlux is a thin market: the most recent UK auction sale price was £88 in February 2026. Today that figure is the only firm anchor for what a Derlux is worth at saleroom level, and individual examples can sell for more or less depending on cosmetic condition and whether the shutter and rangefinder still function.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
