Rectaflex 1000 (Standard)

The Rectaflex 1000 (Standard) is an Italian 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Rectaflex of Rome. It belongs to the early post-war generation of Italian SLRs and was positioned as a premium precision instrument when new.

UK auction records for the Rectaflex 1000 (Standard) are thin, with hammer prices at Christie's sitting between roughly £350 and £490 — wholesale saleroom results that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. On the basis of those two sales the median is around £420, and values today depend heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function, and whether a period Rectaflex-mount lens is included. Collector-grade Italian SLRs of this era tend to sell for more when accompanied by original accessories, so examples without a lens typically fetch less.
