Cornu Fama II
The Cornu Fama II is a French-made camera produced by Cornu of Paris. It is a vintage model that surfaces only occasionally on the collector market, where its scarcity and French origin define its appeal.
Sales data is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result stands at £1,000 from June 2021, so today's value reference point is anchored to that one wholesale saleroom price rather than a broad range. With only one verified data point, what a Fama II is worth or sells for in 2026 will hinge heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day, and price discovery remains uncertain.
