Gomz Reporter
The Gomz Reporter is a Soviet-era camera produced by the GOMZ works in Leningrad. Public reference material on this specific model is limited, so detailed positioning and introduction date are not stated here.
Auction data for the Gomz Reporter is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £7,000 is on record from November 2019, and no further sales have been logged since. With only one data point, that figure cannot be treated as a reliable guide to what the camera is worth today in 2026, and any current price would need to be tested against fresh auction results rather than extrapolated from this lone wholesale-level sale.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Gomz Reporter worth?
Recorded UK auction evidence is limited to a single 2019 hammer result of £7,000, so its current value is difficult to pin down without further sales.
How much does a Gomz Reporter sell for at auction?
The only verified UK auction price on file is £7,000 at hammer in November 2019; no later results are available to confirm whether that level still holds today.
Is the Gomz Reporter a rare camera?
It appears very infrequently in the UK auction market — only one sale is recorded in our data — which suggests it is scarce rather than a regular trading item.
