S.F.O.M. Sfomax
The S.F.O.M. Sfomax is a camera produced by the French maker S.F.O.M. It is an uncommon model that surfaces only occasionally on the collector market.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Sfomax have ranged from £600 to £900, with a median around £750 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than dealer retail. With only a handful of recorded results, today's value depends heavily on condition and completeness, and a single well-presented example can shift what the camera sells for.
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.
