Kodak Panoram Kodak No.4 Model B
The Panoram Kodak No. 4 Model B is an early roll-film panoramic camera produced by Kodak, designed to capture wide-angle images via a swinging lens mechanism on rollfilm. It dates from the early twentieth century and was positioned as a specialist tool for landscape and group photography rather than a general-purpose camera.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Panoram Kodak No. 4 Model B have ranged from roughly £120 to £210, with the two recorded saleroom results sitting either side of a £160 midpoint. With only two verified sales on file, today's value is highly condition-dependent and the camera sells for materially more when the swing mechanism, bellows and wooden body are all intact; what a given example is worth can swing widely from one auction to the next.
