Busch Verascope-F-40
The Busch Verascope F-40 is a stereo film camera, designed to capture paired images for three-dimensional viewing. It is an older European stereo instrument, sitting in the specialist 35mm stereo segment of the market rather than the mainstream still-camera category.
With only a small set of UK auction hammer results to draw on, the Verascope F-40 has sold for between roughly £200 and £300 at saleroom level — wholesale prices that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. As of 2026, that narrow band is what a clean working example tends to be worth today, though condition of the lenses, shutter, and viewfinder optics drives where within the range any given camera sells for.
Sales History
