Micro Precision Products (MPP) Micro Technical Mk II
The MPP Micro Technical Mk II is a British-made large-format technical field camera produced by Micro Precision Products. It was positioned as a professional folding technical camera aimed at studio, landscape and commercial photographers who wanted a domestically produced alternative to German technical cameras.
Sales history for the Mk II is thin, so the market value today should be read with caution: the two recorded UK auction hammer results sit between £110 and £150, with a 1998 Christie's result of £149 and a 2019 hammer of £110. Because these are saleroom wholesale figures rather than dealer retail, clean, complete examples with the original lens, back and film holders can realistically sell for more when offered through specialist dealers.
