Kodak Suprema Camera

The Kodak Suprema is a German-made medium-format folding camera produced by Kodak AG in Stuttgart in the late 1930s. It used 120 roll film and sat at the upper end of Kodak's pre-war folding range, positioned as a premium compact rollfilm camera for advanced amateurs.

With only two UK auction hammer results on file, the Kodak Suprema has sold for between £150 and £600, with sales spanning a long timeframe rather than a tight current band. Because the auction sample is so thin, today's value is best treated as condition- and completeness-dependent: a clean, working example with original case tends to sell for more than a tired body, and these wholesale saleroom prices exclude buyer's premium and dealer retail markup.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Kodak Suprema worth today?

Based on UK auction hammer results, a Kodak Suprema is worth roughly £150 to £600 depending on condition, with cosmetics, bellows integrity and shutter accuracy driving where an example falls in that range.

How much does a Kodak Suprema sell for at auction?

Recorded UK saleroom hammer prices range from £152 to £600; this is the wholesale level achieved before buyer's premium, so retail dealer asking prices are typically higher.

Is the Kodak Suprema rare?

Yes — it was a short-lived pre-war Kodak AG model and appears infrequently at auction, which is why pricing data is thin and individual sales can vary widely.
