Pontiac Super Lynx I

The Pontiac Super Lynx I is a 35mm camera produced in France by MFAP (Manufacture Française d'Appareils Photographiques) in the post-war period. It was positioned as a mid-market French-built 35mm camera at a time when French manufacturers were competing with imports from Germany and later Japan.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Super Lynx I have ranged from roughly £120 to £260, with a 2024 result at £262 and a 2023 sale at £119 — these are wholesale saleroom figures excluding commission, not retail asking prices. Across the longer record the range widens to about £120–£720, reflecting stronger prices achieved in specialist sales in the mid-2000s. As of today in 2026, what the camera is worth depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the shutter and lens remain fully functional.
