Kochmann Enolde

The Kochmann Enolde is a vintage folding camera produced by the German maker Franz Kochmann of Dresden. It is a collector-oriented piece that appears only occasionally on the secondary market, and it sits among the lesser-known German folding cameras of its era.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Enolde have spanned roughly £100 to £520, with a median around £200 based on the limited sales on record. Because so few examples have traded, any single result in today's market can shift the perceived value significantly, and condition and completeness drive most of what a clean example sells for.
