At Aubreys Auctioneers, our Cameras department specialises in fine vintage and collectible photographic equipment. We regularly offer iconic names such as Leica, Hasselblad, Nikon, Canon, and Voigtländer, from classic 35mm rangefinders to medium-format systems. Leica cameras such as the M3 and IIIf remain highly sought after for their precision and enduring design, while Hasselblad models—famed for their use in NASA’s moon missions—continue to attract global collectors.
We are also proud to handle rarer and historically interesting makers such as Reid & Sigrist, the British answer to Leica, and military compasses and exposure meters by Jaeger-LeCoultre—more commonly known for their fine watches, but equally admired for their wartime engineering. Other highlights often include Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex cameras, early Contax, and beautifully made accessories from the golden age of film photography.
Whether you are selling a single camera or an entire collection, or looking to acquire a specific model, our team offers expert valuations and international reach. We welcome consignments and are always happy to advise on market value, rarity, and desirability. Our aim is to bring these beautifully crafted instruments back into the hands of those who truly appreciate them.

"I can't express how grateful I am for the exceptional service I received from Aubreys during a probate valuation. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy, and the probate process seemed daunting. However, the team demonstrated tremendous compassion, professionalism throughout."
