Kodak Specialist 3

The Kodak Specialist 3 is a large-format wooden field camera produced by Kodak Limited in the United Kingdom. It was offered as a press and technical camera designed to take sheet film holders, positioned as a professional studio and field tool when new.

Sales history for the Specialist 3 is thin, with a single UK auction hammer result of £88 recorded in 2023. On that limited evidence, today's saleroom level for this model sits in the low double-digit to lower three-figure range, but a buyer assessing what one is worth in 2026 should treat any value figure as indicative rather than firm until more sales accumulate.
