Mackenstein Field Camera

The Mackenstein Field Camera is a French-made wooden field camera for large-format sheet film photography. Mackenstein was a Paris-based maker active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, producing folding plate and field cameras typical of that era.

Evidence of what a Mackenstein Field Camera is worth at UK saleroom level is limited: a single recorded hammer price of £500 in 2016 is the only data point available, so a reliable current range cannot be quoted for 2026. Buyers researching what one sells for today should treat that figure as indicative only, since wooden field cameras are highly condition-sensitive and values shift with completeness of bellows, ground glass and any original lens.
