Tokyo Kogaku Topcon Super DM
The Topcon Super DM is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera from Tokyo Kogaku, sitting in the upper tier of the Topcon SLR line during the 1970s. It was aimed at advanced amateur and professional users who wanted an interchangeable-lens system body.
Sales evidence for the Super DM is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from February 2022 saw an example sell for £238, which gives an indicative wholesale benchmark rather than a reliable median. With only one data point on file, today's value of a Topcon Super DM is best treated as a guide price, and what a given body sells for in 2026 will hinge heavily on cosmetic condition, meter function and whether a working lens is included. Buyers should expect the auction-room price to move appreciably either side of that figure depending on completeness.
