Deardorff (L.F.) Folding Field Camera

The Deardorff Folding Field Camera is a large-format wooden field camera from the American maker L.F. Deardorff & Sons, used by professional landscape, architectural and studio photographers who need sheet-film capability and full movements in a collapsible body.

Pricing data for this listing is thin: a single UK auction-hammer result of £1,440 was recorded in November 2018, so today (2026) we cannot give a reliable median or range for what a Deardorff Folding Field Camera is worth at saleroom level. Buyers asking what one sells for should treat that figure as indicative only, since condition, format size and included lens or back configuration drive value heavily on this kind of large-format wooden body.
