Kowa Optical Kalloflex Automat II

The Kalloflex Automat II is a Japanese twin-lens reflex camera for 6×6 exposures on 120 roll film, produced by Kowa in the 1950s. It sat in the mid-tier of the postwar TLR market, competing with other Japanese Rolleiflex-style bodies of the period.

With only a single tracked UK auction record, the Kalloflex Automat II is thinly traded, and the one documented hammer price at saleroom level was £125 in 2023. On that limited evidence the model appears to sell for around the £120 mark today, though a clean, fully working example with a clear taking lens could realistically be worth more than that benchmark suggests.
