Goerz Stereotenax

The Goerz Stereotenax is a stereo plate camera produced by the German optics maker C.P. Goerz, designed to capture paired images for stereoscopic viewing. It dates from the early twentieth-century era of folding stereo cameras and was sold as a specialist instrument for amateur stereo photographers.

Sales data for the Stereotenax is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £140 from 2005 is the only data point, so a current market range cannot be reliably stated for 2026. Buyers should treat that figure as a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail price, and recognise that condition, completeness of the lens pair and shutter function will heavily influence what one sells for today.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Goerz Stereotenax worth today?

The only recorded UK auction sale we have is £140 (hammer) from 2005, so a current value cannot be stated with confidence; condition and completeness will drive what an example sells for.

How much does a Goerz Stereotenax sell for at auction?

With just one verified hammer price of £140 in our records, there is not enough data to give a reliable price range; buyers should monitor recent saleroom results before committing.

Is the Goerz Stereotenax a stereo camera?

Yes — the Stereotenax was built by C.P. Goerz as a stereoscopic camera, taking paired exposures intended for stereo viewers of the period.
