The Original Photographic Trade Price Guide
ESTABLISHED 1951

 

Welcome to the home page for the Monark Price Guide,
the UK's leading photo trade price guide.

 

The Monark Price Guide is a unique website, unlike anything else in the world. It lists the current price, new, in the UK as well as the second-hand price, for thousands of items of photographic equipment, including still cameras and lenses, digital cameras and camcorders as well as classic and collectable equipment.

However the guide does not stop there as not only does it give the second-hand price, but also an indication of the ‘trade-in’ value for every item, making it indispensable to its subscribers. The Guide also covers a large selection of classic and collectable cameras, concentrating mainly on the cameras most likely to be encountered.

In addition, all sections have a ‘saleability factor’ added. This Saleability Factor (SF) gives you an idea as to how quickly an item should sell. Obviously we cannot guarantee an instant sale for an item, but this information is useful when considering a purchase, or when pricing an item to sell.

 

First published in 1951, the Monark Price Guide started life as a simple typewritten, hand-duplicated listing containing prices of new cameras and lenses. Initially available only to a select few shops, it has grown in over 50 years to become a lynchpin of many varied operations, from photographic shops to insurance companies.


The Guide has several sections and covers:
35mm SLRs & Lenses (Inc independent manufactures such as Sigma, Tamron etc,)
35mm Rangefinder Cameras & Lenses
Compact Cameras
APS Cameras
Medium Format Cameras
Exposure Meters
Electronic Flash
Digital Cameras
Video Cameras
Collectable Cameras
… and more!

It’s just like having a photo expert in your computer!

The Monark Price Guide is available to anyone likely to encounter photographic equipment in their daily business, such as photographic shops, traders and collectors, antique dealers, auction houses, second-hand shops, pawnbrokers and insurance companies etc.
