Kodak View Camera 2D

The Kodak View Camera 2D is a wooden field-style large format view camera produced in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. It uses sheet film holders and was sold as an affordable studio and commercial view camera, positioned below Kodak's more elaborate professional models when new.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the View Camera 2D have ranged from around £110 to £140, with the two recorded results sitting close to that span and a midpoint near £120. Today the value is heavily condition-dependent at saleroom level — wholesale hammer figures exclude buyer's premium, so a clean, complete example with original bellows and a usable lensboard typically sells for more than a stripped body, and the 2D rarely reaches the prices of larger or earlier Kodak wooden cameras.
