The Plaubel Makina II S is a German-made folding press-style camera that takes 6x9cm images on roll film. It belongs to the Makina line that Plaubel produced through the mid-twentieth century, positioned as a professional medium-format tool for press and portrait work.

Sales data for the Makina II S is thin, so any value guide is indicative rather than definitive: the single recorded UK auction hammer result sits at £400, which gives a rough benchmark for what a working example sells for at saleroom level today in 2026. Because this is a wholesale auction figure rather than a retail asking price, dealer-listed examples in tested, fully functional condition typically command more, and condition of the bellows, shutter and rangefinder strongly influences what any given camera is worth.
