Soho Reflex

The Soho Reflex is a British single-lens reflex plate camera, a folding SLR design of the type produced in London in the early twentieth century. When new it sat in the professional and advanced-amateur segment, competing with other large-format reflex cameras of its era.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Soho Reflex have ranged from about £96 to £260, with a median near £96 — these are saleroom wholesale results rather than retail asking prices. As of today in 2026 the model sells for figures that depend heavily on condition, completeness of the bellows and shutter, and the presence of a usable lens, and clean working examples tend to draw the stronger bids.
