Olympus Auto Eye II
The Olympus Auto Eye II is a 35mm fixed-lens rangefinder-style camera from the Japanese maker Olympus, dating to the late 1950s era of compact viewfinder cameras with built-in selenium metering.
Auction-hammer evidence for the Auto Eye II is thin: a single UK saleroom result in April 2025 sold for £38, so today's wholesale value sits at the lower end of the vintage Japanese rangefinder market. With only one data point, a meaningful price range cannot be drawn, and condition — particularly a responsive selenium meter and clean optics — will determine whether examples sell for more or less than this figure.
