Newman & Guardia Longfocus Reflexkamera
The Newman & Guardia Longfocus Reflexkamera is a British-made plate reflex camera from the early twentieth century, built by the London maker Newman & Guardia for long-focus photographic work.
Data on what this model is worth today is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from February 2024 saw an example sell for £106. With only one recorded sale at saleroom level, there is no meaningful range or median to quote, and the price a comparable example sells for in 2026 will hinge heavily on bellows condition, completeness of the reflex mirror and ground glass, and the presence of any original lens.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Newman & Guardia Longfocus Reflexkamera worth?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, one example sold for £106 at hammer in early 2024; with only a single data point, this is indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Newman & Guardia Longfocus Reflexkamera sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK hammer price in our dataset is £106 from February 2024, so the realistic value today depends heavily on condition and completeness.
Is the Longfocus Reflexkamera a usable camera?
It is a plate-format reflex camera and can in principle be used, but bellows integrity, shutter function and the availability of plate holders will determine whether a given example is shootable.
