Meopta Mikroma
The Meopta Mikroma is a Czech-made subminiature camera using 16mm film, produced by Meopta of Czechoslovakia for compact, pocket-format photography. It sat in the spy/subminiature category alongside cameras such as the Minox and Minolta-16, and is now a collector item rather than a working tool.
Sales data for the Mikroma is thin: a single UK auction-hammer result on file shows an example selling for £100 in 2022, and today comparable clean examples tend to trade in that broad area at saleroom level. Because hammer prices reflect wholesale auction levels rather than retail asking prices, dealer-listed examples in tested, working condition can sit higher than this figure.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Meopta Mikroma worth today?
On the limited UK auction evidence available, a Mikroma has sold for around £100 at hammer, so that figure is a reasonable reference point for a complete, presentable example.
How much does a Meopta Mikroma sell for at auction?
The one verified UK auction-hammer sale on record is £100; with only a single data point, the realistic price range is wider than this and depends heavily on condition and completeness.
Is the Meopta Mikroma a usable camera or a collector's piece?
It is primarily bought as a collector's subminiature today, since 16mm cassette film is no longer mainstream and its value sits in originality and working condition rather than practical shooting use.
