Micro Precision Products (MPP) Micro Technical Mk VI
The MPP Micro Technical Mk VI is a British-made large format folding technical camera produced by Micro Precision Products (commonly known as MPP). It was built for sheet-film work with front and rear movements, and was positioned when new as a portable technical body for field, press and studio use.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Micro Technical Mk VI have ranged from about £60 to £500, with a median price in the low £200s and most clean examples selling for £150–£300. Condition is the dominant factor in what one is worth today in 2026: tidy outfits with a working shutter, intact bellows and a full complement of accessories fetch the upper end, while stripped or tatty bodies sell for under £100 at saleroom level. These are auction hammer results — wholesale values rather than dealer retail — so equivalent shop-priced examples will sit noticeably higher.
