Rectaflex Recta
The Rectaflex Recta is an Italian-made 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Rectaflex of Rome in the postwar era. It was positioned as a premium SLR for enthusiast and professional users at the time of its introduction.
Rectaflex bodies are scarce at saleroom level, and the single UK auction-hammer record on file shows a Recta selling for £1,000 — a wholesale result before commission. With only one data point available today, this figure should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable guide to what a Recta is worth or sells for in the current market.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Rectaflex Recta worth at auction?
The only UK auction-hammer record on file shows a Recta selling for £1,000, but with just one sale to reference the true market value is hard to pin down.
How much does a Rectaflex Recta sell for today?
Recent auction data is sparse; the lone recorded hammer price is £1,000, and condition and completeness will heavily influence what any given example sells for.
Why is the Rectaflex Recta price so variable?
Rectaflex cameras appear infrequently at auction, so each sale price reflects the specific condition, working state and bidder interest on the day rather than an established market level.
