Gamma Duflex
The Gamma Duflex is a 35mm film camera produced in Italy in the mid-20th century. It was a niche domestic-market model rather than a mass-produced export product, which contributes to its scarcity today.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Gamma Duflex have ranged from roughly £2,400 to £4,000, with a median around £3,800. These are wholesale saleroom results, and as of 2026 the Duflex remains a collector-driven camera where condition, completeness and provenance strongly influence what it sells for.
