Jupiter FT-2
The Jupiter FT-2 is a Soviet-era panoramic film camera that uses 35mm film and a rotating lens to capture a wide horizontal field of view. It was produced as a specialist tool rather than a general-purpose 35mm camera, aimed at landscape and group photography.
Jupiter FT-2 data at saleroom level is very thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result in our dataset is £322 from 1999, which is a wholesale figure rather than a retail asking price. With just one historical sale on file, today there is no reliable median or range to quote, and what a Jupiter FT-2 is currently worth depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter, and whether the original case and viewfinder are present.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Jupiter FT-2 worth today?
Based on the single UK auction hammer result in our data (£322 in 1999), there is not enough recent evidence to state a confident current value, and price will hinge on working condition and completeness.
How much does a Jupiter FT-2 sell for at auction?
Only one sale is on record in our history, so a meaningful current price range cannot be derived; buyers should treat any quoted value as indicative until more recent hammer results appear.
Is the Jupiter FT-2 a good buy at its current price?
It can be, if the rotating lens mechanism and shutter slit are functioning correctly, since mechanical faults are the main risk factor and service options for this panoramic camera are limited.
