Kodak Instamatic Reflex

The Kodak Instamatic Reflex is a 126 cartridge film SLR introduced by Kodak in the 1960s. It paired the simple drop-in loading of the Instamatic line with through-the-lens reflex viewing, aimed at users who wanted SLR control without the handling of 35mm cameras.

Evidence on what the Instamatic Reflex is worth at UK saleroom level is thin: the only recorded auction hammer result in our data is £34 from 1998, so a reliable current price band cannot be established for 2026. Buyers researching value today should treat that single figure as historical context rather than a guide to what the camera sells for now, and watch live auction listings for fresh comparables.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Kodak Instamatic Reflex worth today?

Auction data is sparse: the only hammer price in our records is £34 from a 1998 UK sale, so a current market value cannot be quoted with confidence.

How much does a Kodak Instamatic Reflex sell for at auction?

With just one verified UK auction hammer result on file, there is not enough data to give a representative price or range for what the camera sells for.

Can you still use a Kodak Instamatic Reflex?

It takes 126 cartridge film, which is no longer made in volume, so use today depends on respooled or expired stock from specialist suppliers.
