Kodak Panoram Kodak No.1 Model D

The Panoram Kodak No.1 Model D is a roll-film panoramic camera produced by Kodak in the early twentieth century, using a swinging lens to capture a wide horizontal field on roll film. It was sold as a specialist tool for landscape and group photography rather than as a general-purpose camera.

UK auction hammer prices recorded for the Panoram Kodak No.1 Model D sit between £160 and £250, with a midpoint around £207 based on the limited saleroom data available. As of 2026, the dataset is thin and dated, so what the camera sells for today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working swing-lens action, and the presence of the original case; collectors should treat these wholesale auction figures as a floor rather than a retail value.
