Tougodo Optical Meikai

The Tougodo Meikai is a Japanese-made film camera produced by Tougodo Optical. It is a collectible model that surfaces only occasionally on the secondary market, where interest comes primarily from collectors of mid-twentieth-century Japanese cameras.

With only one recorded UK auction hammer result, pricing for the Tougodo Meikai is hard to generalise — that single 2011 sale fetched £600 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commissions). On that thin evidence the Meikai sells for a figure well above commodity vintage cameras, but a buyer in 2026 should treat any quoted value as indicative rather than settled, since a single data point does not establish a reliable market range today.
