Micro Precision Products (MPP) Microflex
The MPP Microflex is a medium format camera produced by British manufacturer Micro Precision Products. It was aimed at the UK market as a domestically-made alternative to imported medium format cameras of the post-war era, and today it is primarily of interest to collectors of British photographic equipment.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the MPP Microflex have typically fallen in a £75–£230 band, with a median around £110 across sales from 2022 onwards. These are wholesale saleroom results rather than retail prices, so dealer-listed examples today in 2026 often sell for meaningfully more; condition, completeness of the original case and accessories, and cosmetic presentation are the main drivers of value.
