Corfield (K.G.) Periflex 2
The Corfield Periflex 2 is a British 35mm film camera from K.G. Corfield of Wolverhampton, produced in the 1950s. It belongs to the Periflex family, which used a periscope-style mirror lowered into the film gate for reflex focusing, and was positioned as an affordable British-made alternative to imported rangefinder and SLR cameras of the period.
At UK auction in the past year, hammer prices for the Periflex 2 have sat in the £88–£130 range, with the two recorded wholesale results (hammer only, excluding buyer's and seller's commission) averaging around £107. On the evidence to date in 2026, what a Periflex 2 is worth depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function and whether the original leather case and lens are present; tidy, working examples sell for more than project bodies.
