Hess & Sattler Field Camera
The Hess & Sattler Field Camera is a wooden field-pattern plate camera of the type produced for large-format photography. It uses a folding bed, ground-glass focusing back and a separate lens in shutter, in the tradition of European field cameras from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Public UK auction data for this maker is thin: a single recorded hammer result from November 2005 sold for £360, which is the only firm price reference available today. With just one sale on file, there is no meaningful range or median to quote, and what a Hess & Sattler Field Camera is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on completeness, the lens fitted and bellows condition rather than any established saleroom trend.
