Wray Wrayflex II
The Wrayflex II is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Wray of Bromley, the British optical manufacturer. It was introduced in the 1950s and stands out as one of the very few 35mm SLRs ever made in Britain, which shapes its value and appeal to collectors today.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Wrayflex II have ranged from around £170 to £690, with a median close to £600 — these are wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail. Condition and the presence of a working Wray lens materially affect what a Wrayflex II is worth, and in 2026 clean, functioning examples continue to sell for the upper end of that band while incomplete or faulty bodies have fetched as little as £175.
