Gundlach Korona View (5x7)

The Gundlach Korona View (5x7) is a large-format wooden field camera taking 5x7 inch sheet film. Gundlach was a Rochester, New York optical and camera maker, and the Korona View line was sold as a working field camera for studio and outdoor use.

Sales data for this model is extremely thin: a single 1998 Christie's hammer result of £69 is the only UK auction reference on file, so a reliable current price or median cannot be derived for today's market. With only one historic data point, the figure should be treated as indicative of saleroom-level wholesale value at that time rather than what a clean example is worth or sells for now, and condition of the bellows, wood and hardware will dominate any actual price achieved.

Sales History

Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Gundlach Korona View (5x7) worth today?

The only logged UK auction hammer result is £69 from 1998, which is too sparse and too old to give a confident current value; condition of bellows, wood and any included lens will drive what a specific example sells for.

How much does a Gundlach Korona View 5x7 sell for at auction?

Documented sales history shows just one hammer price of £69, so any current price quoted would be speculation rather than a market-derived figure.

Is the Korona View a usable camera today?

It is a 5x7 sheet-film field camera, so it remains usable provided the bellows are light-tight and a working shutter and lens are fitted.
