What it is

{"overview":"The Wrayflex I is a British-made 35mm SLR produced by Wray of London in the early 1950s. It was one of only a handful of 35mm single-lens reflex cameras designed and built in Britain, and used a proprietary bayonet mount for Wray's own lenses. Check the ground-glass screen and mirror for haze or desilvering, and confirm that the Wray bayonet lens mounts and focuses cleanly, since replacement lenses in this mount are themselves hard to find.

Questions

Why does the Wrayflex I price vary so much?

Because the camera was produced in small numbers and relies on a proprietary lens mount, value is highly sensitive to shutter health, cosmetic condition and whether extra Wray lenses are included in the lot.

Is the Wrayflex I rare?

Yes. It is one of very few British-built 35mm SLRs and surviving examples appear only occasionally at UK camera auctions, which is part of why collectors are willing to pay a premium for complete outfits.
