The Kowa SW is a fixed-lens medium format camera made by Kowa Optical, designed for wide-angle work on 120 roll film. The black variant is the less commonly encountered finish.

Sales data is extremely thin: a single black-finish example fetched £850 at UK auction (a hammer result, before commission), and with only one record there is no meaningful range or median to publish for what the camera is worth in 2026. Buyers researching the price today should treat that figure as indicative rather than a market median, since condition, completeness and finish all materially affect what a Kowa SW sells for.
