Meopta Mikroma II
The Meopta Mikroma II is a Czech-made subminiature camera that uses 16mm film, produced by Meopta from the 1950s. It was positioned as a compact pocket-format camera for casual and travel photography, sitting alongside other European 16mm subminiatures of the period.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Mikroma II have sat in the £75–£94 range, with both recorded sales clustered tightly in that band — reflecting wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail asking prices. As of today in 2026, the camera sells for modest sums and its value is driven heavily by cosmetic condition and whether the original case and accessories are present.
