Kodak Panoram Kodak No.1

The Panoram Kodak No.1 is an early rollfilm panoramic camera produced by Kodak, using a swinging-lens design to capture a wide horizontal image on rollfilm. Introduced at the end of the 19th century, it was positioned as a specialist tool for landscape and group photography at a time when panoramic formats were a niche within the amateur market.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Panoram Kodak No.1 have ranged from around £70 to £820, with a median near £130 across the recorded sales. A strong 2025 result of £819 shows that clean, working examples can sell for well above the long-term average, while tired or incomplete bodies sit closer to £100; as of today in 2026, condition and completeness are what most influence what one is worth. These figures are saleroom hammer results and exclude auction commissions, so retail asking prices from specialist dealers are typically higher.
