Metz Mecaflex
The Metz Mecaflex is a mid-1950s subminiature single-lens reflex camera using 24x24mm frames on 35mm film. It was produced under the Metz name and aimed at users seeking a compact reflex format distinct from the standard 24x36mm.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Mecaflex have ranged from about £500 to £590, with a median near £590, and an older 2009 result at £600 sits in the same band. Values have held steady into 2026 because supply is thin; condition of the shutter and viewfinder optics drives what a clean example sells for at saleroom level.
