Wray Opticalworks la

The Wray "la" is a camera produced by British optical maker Wray Opticalworks, a firm better known for its lenses than its cameras. With no manufacturer specifications supplied for this listing, the description here is limited to what the UK auction record reliably shows.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Wray la have ranged from about £250 to £580, with a median around £275 based on seven recorded sales between 2019 and 2025. The most recent result, in May 2025, was £500, suggesting the model still holds value today among collectors of British optical equipment, though condition and completeness drive where within that range an example sells for. These figures are saleroom hammer results — wholesale levels that exclude commission — rather than dealer retail asking prices.
