Ross Tropical Reflex

The Ross Tropical Reflex is a single-lens reflex plate camera produced by the British optical maker Ross of London. As a tropical-bodied SLR, it was constructed with brass fittings and exotic hardwood panels intended to resist humidity in tropical climates, placing it at the upper end of the early twentieth-century reflex market.

Auction data for the Ross Tropical Reflex is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result in our dataset is £1,400 from a 2004 Christie's sale. With just one data point — and one more than two decades old — current value in 2026 cannot be reliably stated, and any owner considering a sale today should treat that figure as historical context rather than a present-day market price.
