Sell Cameras in London
Fair Vintage is a specialist buyer of cameras serving sellers in London — from collectible film cameras and rangefinders to medium-format systems, professional bodies and desirable lenses.
We value each camera individually and provide a clear offer with no obligation to sell. We may also consider bodies and lenses without their original box.
Same-day or next-day appointments may be available, subject to availability. We can arrange to meet at a safe, mutually agreed location convenient to you.

Every camera is assessed on its own merits — exact model, age, working and cosmetic condition, originality and current collector demand all matter.
We regularly buy from the leading houses, including Leica, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, Mamiya, Contax, Pentax and Minolta, alongside many vintage makers.
What affects a camera's value
Among the factors we weigh:
- Exact model and production period
- Working and shutter condition
- Meter and electronics where fitted
- Lens condition — fungus, haze, scratches, separation
- Cosmetic condition and originality
- Serial number
- Included lenses, caps and accessories
- Original box, papers and service history
- Rarity and current collector demand
Designed around a short stay
Same-day or next-day appointments may be available, subject to availability, so it is often practical to arrange a valuation before you leave.
We can meet at a safe, mutually agreed location convenient to you — this may include at or near your hotel, subject to the property's policies.
