Taron Co. Taron Chic
The Taron Chic is a film camera produced by the Japanese maker Taron Co. It sits in the compact viewfinder segment of the mid-twentieth century Japanese camera market, where Taron competed alongside numerous other domestic manufacturers.
With only a single recorded UK auction result, pricing for the Taron Chic is thin: one example sold for £69 at hammer in early 2026, which is the only data point available to gauge what the camera is worth today. Because this is a wholesale saleroom result rather than a dealer asking price, retail values for clean, working examples may sit higher, and condition is likely to drive most of the variation in what a Taron Chic sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
