Tougodo Optical Meikai-Ref
The Tougodooptical Meikai-Ref is a vintage camera that appears only occasionally in the UK collector market. Public reference material on this specific model is limited, so detailed specification claims cannot be made with confidence.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Meikai-Ref have been thin on the ground: a 2024 sale reached £150, while an earlier 2009 result was £800, giving a wholesale saleroom range of roughly £150–£800 across the two verified hammer results. With so few data points, today's value for any given example is heavily condition-dependent, and a single additional sale could shift the picture materially, so sellers asking what the camera is worth or what it sells for should treat these figures as indicative rather than settled.
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.
