Micro Precision Products (MPP) Microflash

The Microflash is a specialist product from British manufacturer Micro Precision Products (MPP), the Surrey-based firm best known in the post-war decades for producing precision photographic equipment for the UK market. It is a scarce item that surfaces only occasionally in the collector market, and individual examples can vary significantly in specification and condition.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the MPP Microflash today sit in a wide £1,600–£4,400 band, with a median around £2,100 based on recent sales. The upper end of that range — where examples have sold for roughly £4,375 — reflects exceptional condition or complete outfits, while more typical saleroom results cluster between £1,600 and £2,250. Because these are wholesale hammer figures rather than dealer retail, what a Microflash is worth to a private buyer through a specialist dealer will generally be higher.
