Multiscope & Film Co. Al-Vista 3B
The Al-Vista 3B is an early panoramic roll-film camera made by the Multiscope & Film Co. It uses a swing-lens mechanism to capture wide-format images on roll film, a design associated with turn-of-the-twentieth-century panoramic photography.
Evidence of what an Al-Vista 3B is worth at saleroom level is thin: the only verified UK auction hammer result on file is a single sale at £199 in 2001, so today there is no reliable current median or range to quote. Anyone trying to gauge price or what one sells for in 2026 should treat that figure as historical and seek fresh comparables before bidding.
