Graflex Graphic 35 Jet
The Graflex Graphic 35 Jet is a 35mm viewfinder camera produced in the United States during the late 1950s. It was built around a CO2-gas-powered film advance system, positioning it as a novelty within Graflex's small-format line rather than a mainstream rangefinder competitor.
Hammer prices at UK auction for the Graphic 35 Jet are thinly documented, with the only logged saleroom result reaching £115 in 1998 — a wholesale level achieved before buyer's premium. With so little recent data, what a Graphic 35 Jet sells for today is best treated as indicative rather than a settled market value, and condition of the gas-advance mechanism heavily influences price.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Graflex Graphic 35 Jet sell for?
Documented UK auction evidence is very limited, with one recorded hammer result of £115. Current value depends heavily on whether the gas-powered advance system is functional.
What is a Graphic 35 Jet worth today in 2026?
With only a single logged saleroom price on file, any worth estimate is provisional; complete, working examples command the strongest prices because of the unusual CO2 advance mechanism.
Why is the Graphic 35 Jet unusual?
It uses a compressed CO2 gas cartridge to wind the film and cock the shutter, which is rare among 35mm cameras and is the main reason collectors seek it out.
