Linhof Stereo Panorama (9x12)
The Linhof Stereo Panorama is a German-made large-format camera built around the 9x12 cm sheet film standard. It is a stereo-capable plate camera from Linhof's early-twentieth-century output, aimed at photographers working with paired stereo images on glass plates or cut film.
Sales data for the Stereo Panorama (9x12) is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £2,400 in June 2024 is the only verified saleroom benchmark we have on file as of 2026, so any sense of what one is worth today rests on that one data point. Because the figure reflects a wholesale auction price rather than a retail asking price, dealer-listed examples typically sell for noticeably more, and condition of the bellows, shutter and stereo lens pair will swing the value considerably.
