Lomo Almaz 104
The Almaz 104 is a Soviet-built 35mm SLR produced by LOMO in Leningrad, introduced in the 1980s as a Nikon-influenced professional-tier body. It was positioned at the top of the LOMO SLR range when new, intended as a domestic alternative to Western system cameras.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £3,600 in our dataset, the Almaz 104 has not established a reliable market price today, and that figure should be read as an outlier rather than a typical value. As of 2026, what an Almaz 104 sells for at saleroom level depends heavily on completeness, working shutter, and the presence of original lenses, and most casual examples would be expected to trade well below this single data point.

Frequently asked questions
What is a LOMO Almaz 104 worth today?
Evidence is thin: a single UK auction record sits at £3,600, which is unusually high for a Soviet SLR and should not be taken as a reliable guide to the camera's value.
How much does an Almaz 104 sell for at auction?
Only one hammer price is on record in our dataset (£3,600 in 2011), so a typical current sale price cannot be stated with confidence.
Is the Almaz 104 a good buyer's price at the lower end of the market?
Without further sales data we cannot quote a reliable range; buyers should judge each example on shutter condition, cosmetics, and included lenses rather than on headline auction figures.
