Meopta Opema
The Meopta Opema is a Czechoslovak-made compact rangefinder-style camera produced by Meopta in the mid-twentieth century. It was positioned as an affordable Eastern European photographic tool during a period when Meopta was diversifying beyond its better-known optical instruments.
Sales data for the Opema is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from March 2022 sold for £112, which is wholesale-level pricing rather than retail or dealer asking prices. With only one data point available today, it is difficult to define a reliable price range, and condition, completeness of the original leather case, and working shutter all have a strong influence on what the camera sells for at saleroom level.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
