Musashino-Koki Rittreck (View)

The Musashino-Koki Rittreck (View) is a Japanese-made large-format view camera produced for studio and field photography. Musashino Koki of Tokyo built the Rittreck line during the mid-twentieth century, positioning it as a professional sheet-film camera at the more affordable end of the imported view-camera market.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Rittreck (View) have sat in a modest £48–£85 range, reflecting only two recorded saleroom results. As of 2026 the small sample size means today's market value is best treated as indicative rather than firm, and condition of the bellows, standards and ground glass will swing what any given example sells for.
