Eclair Cameflex

The Eclair Cameflex is a French-built motion picture camera designed for 35mm cine film work. It became known in the post-war era as a hand-holdable production camera used widely in newsreel, documentary and feature filmmaking.

Auction data for the Cameflex is thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2006 saw an example sell for £480 at hammer, which gives the only firm reference point for what one is worth today in 2026. Because that figure is a wholesale auction-hammer price rather than a dealer asking price, condition, completeness of magazines and motors, and inclusion of original lenses are likely to move what a comparable camera sells for. With only one data point, any current price guide for the Cameflex should be treated as indicative rather than a tight range.
