Kodak Signet 80
The Kodak Signet 80 is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced in the late 1950s, part of Kodak's US-made Signet line. It was positioned as a mid-range interchangeable-lens model aimed at enthusiast photographers.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Signet 80 have ranged from around £10 to £94, based on two sales recorded between March 2025 and September 2025. As of 2026, what a Signet 80 is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the selenium meter still functions; clean, working examples sit at the upper end of that range while untested bodies sell for very little.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kodak Signet 80 worth today?
Based on UK auction hammer results, a Signet 80 has sold for between £10 and £94, with value driven mainly by cosmetic condition and a working meter and shutter.
How much does a Kodak Signet 80 sell for at auction?
Recent UK hammer prices recorded are £10 and £94, so a clean, tested example tends to sit near the top of that range while rough or untested bodies fetch very little.
Is the Kodak Signet 80 a good user camera?
It can be, provided the shutter fires cleanly and the rangefinder is aligned; the selenium meter is often degraded, so many users rely on a handheld meter or Sunny 16.
