Kalimar Reflex SQ
The Kalimar Reflex SQ is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera sold under the Kalimar badge, a brand used in the mid-twentieth century to market rebranded Japanese SLR bodies to budget-conscious buyers.
Sales data for the Reflex SQ is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result of around £110 was recorded in 2022, which sits at the wholesale end of the market rather than a retail asking price. With only one data point, any statement of what the camera is worth today in 2026 should be treated as indicative, and a clean working example could sell for more or less depending on cosmetics and whether the original lens is present.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kalimar Reflex SQ worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, a Reflex SQ has sold for around £110 at hammer, so a complete, working example is likely to sell for a broadly similar figure, with cleaner outfits commanding a modest premium.
How much does a Kalimar Reflex SQ sell for at auction?
Only one tracked UK saleroom result exists, at roughly £110 hammer in 2022, which means the price any individual example fetches can vary noticeably from that single data point.
Is the Kalimar Reflex SQ a collectible camera?
Kalimar-badged SLRs are generally treated as user-grade rather than collector pieces, so value tends to track usability and cosmetic condition rather than rarity.
