Taiyodo Koki Beauty Super L
The Beauty Super L is a 35mm film camera produced by Taiyodo Koki of Japan, a maker active in the post-war Japanese camera industry. It sits among the lesser-known Japanese rangefinder-style 35mm models from that era.
Sales data for the Beauty Super L is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction result on file is a single hammer price of £109 from 1998, so any contemporary 2026 value estimate is unreliable. With one data point at saleroom level, the model has no established price band today, and current worth is best determined by watching live auction listings rather than extrapolating from a decades-old sale.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Taiyodo Koki Beauty Super L worth today?
Only one UK auction hammer result is on record — £109 in 1998 — so there is no reliable current market value, and price depends heavily on condition and what comparable examples sell for at auction.
How much does a Beauty Super L sell for at auction?
The single recorded sale price was £109 at hammer, excluding buyer's and seller's commission; with no recent results, this figure should be treated as historical reference only.
Is the Beauty Super L a collectible camera?
It is an uncommon post-war Japanese 35mm camera from a minor maker, which can interest specialist collectors, but the lack of recent sales makes demand and value difficult to gauge.
