Kilfitt Mecaflex
The Kilfitt Mecaflex is a 35mm SLR camera marketed under the Kilfitt name in the 1950s. It was a niche, small-production model aimed at the upper end of the amateur market, sold at a time dominated by larger German and Japanese SLR makers.
Sales evidence is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £850 in 2007 is the only data point available, so any current value or price guide for the Mecaflex today is indicative rather than firm. Collectors should treat that figure as a wholesale saleroom level for a complete example, with condition, completeness and originality of fittings likely to drive what one sells for now.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kilfitt Mecaflex worth today?
On the limited evidence available, a Mecaflex achieved £850 at UK auction, and that remains the main reference point for its value in 2026.
How much does a Kilfitt Mecaflex sell for at auction?
Only one UK hammer result is on record, at £850, so individual sales can vary significantly depending on condition and completeness.
Is the Kilfitt Mecaflex a rare camera?
Yes — it was produced in small numbers and rarely appears in the saleroom, which is why pricing data is sparse.
