Rectaflex 1300 (Standard)

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.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Rectaflex 1300 (Standard) have ranged from roughly £260 to £700, with a median of about £500 across the sales on file. As of 2026, condition and completeness drive most of the spread — a cosmetically clean, functional body sells for noticeably more than a cosmetically tired example, and these figures represent wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail asking prices.
