Hermagis Field Camera

The Hermagis Field Camera is a large-format wooden field camera from the French optical maker Hermagis, intended for sheet-film use on a tripod. As an antique field camera rather than a modern production model, it is collected today primarily as a historical piece of French photographic equipment.

Sales data for the Hermagis Field Camera is very thin, so any guide to what one is worth today must be treated cautiously: the two recorded UK auction hammer results sit at £800 and £7,500, a range that reflects how condition, completeness and the quality of any fitted Hermagis lens drive value at saleroom level. Because only two data points exist, there is no meaningful median price, and what a given example sells for in 2026 will depend heavily on the specific variant and presentation.
