Sanei Sangyo Samocaflex 35

The Samocaflex 35 is a Japanese 35mm twin-lens reflex camera produced by Sanei Sangyo in the 1950s. It was an unusual entrant in a TLR market dominated by 6×6 medium-format designs, applying the twin-lens layout to the smaller 35mm film format.

Sales evidence for the Samocaflex 35 is extremely thin: the only verified UK auction hammer result on file is £470 from June 2001, so a meaningful current-day price range cannot be established. As of today the camera is best treated as a scarce collector item whose value at saleroom level depends heavily on condition, completeness and the presence of bidders familiar with 35mm TLRs; what one sells for in 2026 could differ substantially from that single historical data point.
