Kuribayashi Fotochrome Camera

The Kuribayashi Fotochrome Camera is a fixed-lens snapshot camera designed to shoot colour images on a dedicated roll film, produced in Japan during the 1960s. It used an unusual elongated body shape to suit its specific film path rather than a conventional 35mm cassette.

Sales data for the Fotochrome at UK auction is very thin: the only hammer result on file is £140 from late 2008, so any current price guidance is indicative rather than firm. Today a clean, complete example in this niche of the collector market would likely sell for a broadly similar figure at saleroom level, but with only one auction-hammer data point the value any given buyer is willing to pay can swing widely either side.

Sales History

Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
