SEM Semflex Studio-Standard
The Semflex Studio-Standard is a French-made twin-lens reflex roll-film camera produced by SEM (Société d'Études et de Mécanique). It was offered as a mid-tier studio-oriented TLR taking 120 film in the 6x6 format.
Recorded UK auction activity for the Studio-Standard is thin: a single hammer result of £150 in January 2024 sets the only datapoint we have at saleroom level today, and that figure represents wholesale value before buyer's premium rather than a retail asking price. With so few sales, what a Semflex Studio-Standard is worth in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter health and whether the taking lens is clean.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Semflex Studio-Standard worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, a Semflex Studio-Standard sold for £150 hammer in early 2024; clean, working examples tend to sit around that level, though sample size is very small.
How much does a Semflex Studio-Standard sell for at auction?
The only verified UK auction sale on file is £150, so that is the best current reference price until further results come in.
Is the Semflex Studio-Standard a good buy at this price?
At around £150 it can be reasonable value for a working French TLR, but condition of the lenses and shutter drives the real price you should pay.
