Krauss Scientific Camera
The Krauss Scientific Camera is a specialist instrument camera produced by the French optical maker Krauss for laboratory and technical photography rather than general use. Its scientific positioning and limited production place it firmly in the collector and institutional market rather than among everyday vintage cameras.
Sales data for this model is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from 2004 stands at £1,875, which gives an indication of saleroom-level value but not a reliable current price. Because only one verified sale underpins the record, today's worth depends heavily on completeness, optics and provenance, and what a comparable example sells for in 2026 could vary widely from that figure.
