Kodak Medalist II

The Kodak Medalist II is a medium format rangefinder camera produced in the United States, introduced in the late 1940s as a successor to the original wartime Medalist. It uses 620 roll film to produce 6x9cm negatives and was positioned as a high-end professional camera with a fixed Ektar lens.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Medalist II have ranged from around £60 to £175, with a median near £120 in recent saleroom results. The 2022 result of £175 sits at the top of the recorded range, while earlier Christie's sales suggest the camera's value at auction has been broadly stable over two decades. Today, condition of the bellows, shutter and Ektar lens is what determines where a given example sells for within that range.
