The UK Vintage Camera Price Index
What collectable cameras actually sold for at UK auction, and how that changed. Each edition compares a full year with the year before, model by model, and gives the number of sales behind every line. Published monthly; each edition is sealed once published, so a figure you cite stays put.

What this measures
Each edition takes every camera model that sold enough times at UK auction in both of two twelve-month periods, compares its median price across them, and reports the median of those changes. Matching each model with itself means the figure doesn’t simply move with whatever came to market. Each new edition moves the twelve-month window on by one month.
The sales behind it are published auction results, collected and checked as described in how we price. Each edition also says plainly what it can’t tell you — condition is not held constant, and the set of salerooms we see is not fixed.
