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.

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.
