Newman & Guardia Reflex

The Newman & Guardia Reflex is a British-made single-lens reflex plate camera, produced by the London maker Newman & Guardia in the early twentieth century. It sits in the specialist category of pre-war wooden and leather-bodied reflex cameras aimed at serious amateur and professional users of the period.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Newman & Guardia Reflex have ranged from roughly £260 to £490, with a median around £300 on the small sample of saleroom results available. As of today the market for this model remains thin and highly condition-sensitive: complete examples with intact bellows, working shutter and original plate holders sell for more, while incomplete or tatty bodies sell for considerably less than the median price.
