De Vere Devon Monorail
The De Vere Devon Monorail is a large-format monorail camera produced by the British manufacturer De Vere, a firm best known for its enlargers and studio equipment. As a monorail design, it was intended for studio and technical work where full movements and precise control of the image plane are required.
Auction data for the Devon Monorail is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from October 2022 saw one sell for £100, which is the only verified data point available. With just one auction-hammer record on file, today's market value is best treated as indicative rather than established, and condition, completeness of standards and bellows, and inclusion of lens boards will heavily influence what any given example is worth or sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a De Vere Devon Monorail worth today?
Based on the only verified UK auction-hammer record on file — a sale in October 2022 at £100 — that figure is the best available reference point, though a single data result is not enough to fix a reliable market value.
How much does a De Vere Devon Monorail sell for at auction?
The one verified UK saleroom result shows a hammer price of £100, so comparable complete examples can reasonably be expected to trade around that level, with condition and included accessories driving variation.
Is the De Vere Devon Monorail a good buy at this price?
At around £100 the value proposition depends almost entirely on completeness — a camera with intact bellows, working movements and a usable lens board is far more useful than a stripped body at the same price.
