Lomo Almaz 102
The Almaz 102 is a Soviet 35mm SLR produced by LOMO in Leningrad during the 1980s. It was a limited-production professional body and is now encountered mainly through the collector market rather than as a user camera.
In the UK auction market, hammer prices for the Almaz 102 have ranged from £700 to £9,000 across the four recorded saleroom results, with the midpoint of the two central sales sitting around £2,900. The most recent hammer result, in 2022, reached £9,000 at auction, well above the £700–£1,300 achieved in 2007–2008, which illustrates how thinly this model trades and how condition-sensitive the price is. As of today in 2026, anyone asking what an Almaz 102 is worth should expect wide dispersion: the value reflects rarity and completeness rather than a settled market price.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Almaz 102 worth at UK auction?
Recorded hammer prices span £700 to £9,000, with the most recent 2022 sale reaching £9,000 and earlier results between £700 and £1,300.
How much does an Almaz 102 sell for today?
Examples trade infrequently, so there is no tight market price; recent hammer results suggest clean, complete bodies can achieve several thousand pounds, while earlier sales settled well below that.
Why is the Almaz 102 price so variable?
Production was limited and examples rarely appear, so individual condition, completeness, and the specific auction venue have an outsized effect on the final hammer price.
