Kilfitt UKA 659
The Kilfitt UKA 659 is a specialist piece of equipment associated with the German optical maker Kilfitt, best known for its precision close-up and long-focus lens systems. Surviving examples are scarce and rarely surface outside specialist auctions.
Reference data is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from November 2013 sets the only known datapoint at £32,000, a wholesale saleroom figure that excludes commission. With no further sales to corroborate, it is not possible to state what a Kilfitt UKA 659 is reliably worth in today's market, and any current value would need to be tested by fresh auction exposure.
