Neoca 1S
The Neoca 1S is a Japanese 35mm film camera from the post-war era, sold as a fixed-lens viewfinder/rangefinder model aimed at the domestic amateur market. It is an obscure entry today, with limited recognition outside collectors of mid-century Japanese optics.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result — £68 in November 2021 — the Neoca 1S has too thin a sales history in 2026 to establish a reliable price band, and that figure reflects a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail asking price. As a guide, that lone result suggests the camera sells for a modest two-figure sum when it appears, though condition and completeness will swing what any individual example is worth.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Neoca 1S worth today?
Evidence is limited to a single UK auction record at £68 in 2021, so a realistic value guide is a modest two-figure price, with condition driving most of the variation.
How much does a Neoca 1S sell for at auction?
The only logged hammer price is £68; with no further data points, that figure is the best available reference for what the camera sells for at saleroom level.
Is the Neoca 1S a collectible camera?
It has niche appeal among collectors of lesser-known Japanese 35mm cameras, but the thin sales record suggests demand is narrow rather than broad.
