Ihagee Patent Klapp Reflex

The Ihagee Patent Klapp Reflex is an early folding reflex plate camera produced by the Dresden maker Ihagee. It dates from the pre-war era of German plate-camera manufacture, when Ihagee built wooden-bodied reflex and folding designs before the company's later single-lens reflex work.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Patent Klapp Reflex have ranged from about £160 to £950, reflecting how much condition and completeness drive value today. With only a small number of recorded saleroom results, any single price should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value in 2026.
