Belca-werk Belplasca
The Belca-werk Belplasca is a 35mm stereo camera made in East Germany during the 1950s, producing paired images on standard 35mm film for stereoscopic viewing. It was positioned as a specialist tool for stereo photography enthusiasts rather than a general-purpose camera.
The single recorded UK auction hammer result for a Belplasca stands at £300, so the price this model sells for today rests on a very thin sample at saleroom level. With only one wholesale data point available, a meaningful range or median cannot be quoted, and current value will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, the presence of the original case, and whether the twin shutters and rangefinder are functional.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
