Optikotechna Spektaretta

The Optikotechna Spektaretta is a Czech-made camera produced by Optikotechna, a maker active in the mid-twentieth century before its absorption into Meopta. It is a scarce collectors' piece rather than a user camera, and surfaces only occasionally on the specialist market.

Sales data for the Spektaretta is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £3,800 from November 2011 is the only reference point available, so any current price guidance in 2026 must be treated as indicative rather than typical. At saleroom level the camera clearly trades in the high-value collectors' bracket, but with one data point there is no meaningful range or median to quote, and what a Spektaretta sells for today will depend heavily on condition, completeness and bidder competition on the day.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Optikotechna Spektaretta worth?

The only recorded UK auction sale in our data achieved a hammer price of £3,800 in 2011, which places the Spektaretta firmly in the high-end collector bracket, though a single result is not enough to establish a reliable current market value.

How much does an Optikotechna Spektaretta sell for at auction?

With just one recorded hammer result of £3,800, there is no established price range; realised prices today will depend on condition, completeness and how many serious collectors bid on the day.

Is the Optikotechna Spektaretta rare?

Yes — the camera appears very infrequently at auction, which is reflected in the scarcity of sales data and the high price the one recorded example achieved.
