Billcliff Long Focus Camera

The Billcliff Long Focus Camera is a British-made wooden field camera designed for long-focus work, with the bellows draw and rear extension required for telephoto and portrait focal lengths on large-format plates.

Hammer evidence is thin: a single UK auction result from October 2017 saw a Billcliff Long Focus Camera sell for £1,020 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). On that basis, today's value guide for a complete, presentable example sits around the £1,000 mark, but with only one data point the price a specific camera sells for can vary widely with condition, completeness of lens and plate holders, and bellows integrity.
