Graflex Series B
The Graflex Series B is an American-made single-lens reflex roll/sheet film camera from the early 20th century, produced as part of Graflex's line of large-format reflex press and field cameras. It was positioned as a smaller, more portable alternative within the Graflex SLR range when new.
Sales data for the Series B is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result from February 2025 saw an example sell for £38, so today's wholesale saleroom level appears to sit in the low double figures. With only one data point it is difficult to define a reliable price band, and what a Series B is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on condition, completeness of the lens and back, and whether the bellows and shutter are functional.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Graflex Series B worth today?
Based on limited UK auction evidence, a Series B has sold for around £38 at hammer, though a single sale is not enough to set a firm value and condition will swing the price considerably.
How much does a Graflex Series B sell for at auction?
The most recent recorded UK auction hammer price for a Series B was £38 in February 2025; that figure excludes buyer's and seller's commission.
Is the Graflex Series B a good buyer's camera?
It can be, but only if the bellows, shutter and ground glass are sound — repair parts and servicing are scarce, so a non-working example has little practical value beyond display.
