Marion Soho Reflex

The Marion Soho Reflex is a British single-lens reflex plate camera, introduced in the early 20th century and produced in London. When new it was positioned as a professional-grade focal-plane SLR for press, portrait and naturalist photographers working on glass plates and sheet film.

At UK auction in 2024–2025, hammer prices for the Soho Reflex have ranged from roughly £50 to £130, with the two recorded saleroom results sitting either side of a £90 midpoint. As of today, what a Marion Soho Reflex is worth depends heavily on completeness — bellows condition, shutter function, and the presence of plate holders and a working lens all materially affect what the camera sells for in the wholesale auction market.
