Cornu Fama

The Cornu Fama is a French-made camera produced by Cornu, a Paris-based manufacturer active in the early-to-mid 20th century. As a relatively obscure French maker, Cornu's products today appeal mainly to collectors of European camera history rather than working photographers.

With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £500 from March 2014, the Cornu Fama has a very thin price history at saleroom level, and a reliable current-day median or range cannot be quoted from this dataset alone. As of 2026, anyone researching what a Cornu Fama is worth should treat that figure as a single data point rather than a market value, and condition, completeness and originality will materially affect what an example sells for.
