Takane Opticalco. Mine Six IIF
The Takane Mine Six IIF is a Japanese medium-format folding camera that takes 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. It dates from the post-war Japanese folder era, when small makers produced compact roll-film cameras for the domestic market.
Sales data for the Mine Six IIF is very thin, so a reliable market value is difficult to establish; the single UK auction hammer record on file is £220 from 2014, which gives a rough indication of what one clean example sold for at saleroom level rather than a current today market price. Buyers researching what the camera is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as a historic data point only and watch fresh listings for confirmation of how it sells for now.
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.
