Kochmann Korelle P

The Kochmann Korelle P is a German-made plate camera from the pre-war era, produced by Franke & Heidecke's contemporary Kochmann of Dresden. It was positioned as a compact plate-format camera for enthusiast photographers before Kochmann shifted focus to its roll-film Reflex-Korelle line.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Korelle P have ranged from around £180 to £540, with a median near £220 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail dealer prices. Sales data is thin and historic, so today a realistic price guide depends heavily on condition, completeness of the original plate holders, and whether the shutter still fires accurately; clean working examples sit at the upper end of that range while incomplete bodies sell for less.
