UK auction hammer results for the Contaflex Prima (10.1291) are sparse, with recorded sales ranging from £30 to £300 — wholesale saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. Heading into 2026, what a Contaflex Prima is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the shutter and meter are functional, with the lower end reflecting cameras sold as untested or for parts.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
