Newman & Guardia Nydia

{"overview":"The Newman & Guardia Nydia is a British-made folding plate camera produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by the London firm Newman & Guardia. As of 2026, condition drives what a Nydia is worth today: clean, working examples with original leather and intact bellows sell for more, while tatty bodies with pinholed bellows fetch the lower end of the range at saleroom level.","buying_guide":"Check the bellows carefully for pinholes and corner splits, as replacements for this format are not off-the-shelf items. Inspect the leather covering, the wooden body for shrinkage, and the pneumatic shutter release and speed settings for responsiveness.
