What it is

The Rectaflex 1300 (Standard) is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by the Italian manufacturer Rectaflex in Rome during the 1950s. It was positioned in the early post-war SLR market, when pentaprism-equipped 35mm reflex cameras were still a relatively new category.

Because the Rectaflex is a scarce Italian SLR with limited surviving service support, inspect the shutter carefully at all speeds, check the reflex mirror action, and look at the ground glass and prism for fungus or separation. Missing accessories and non-original lenses reduce value, and buyers should assume that any repair work will need a specialist rather than a mainstream camera technician.

Questions

Why does the price of a Rectaflex 1300 vary so much?

The value of each example depends heavily on condition, working shutter speeds, prism clarity, and whether the original lens and accessories are present.

Is the Rectaflex 1300 a collectible camera?

Yes — it is a scarce Italian 35mm SLR from the 1950s, and collector interest is the main reason prices remain in the hundreds of pounds at auction.
