Plaubel Veriwide 100
The Plaubel Veriwide 100 is a medium-format wide-angle camera that exposes 6x9cm frames on 120 roll film through a fixed Schneider Super Angulon 47mm f/8 lens. Introduced in the 1960s, it was a specialist tool aimed at architectural and landscape photographers who needed an ultra-wide view on a larger negative than 35mm could offer.
At recent UK auction the Veriwide 100 has a wide spread: hammer prices recorded here range from £320 to £1,400, with a median around £850. The market has softened noticeably into 2026 — examples sold in the last couple of years have fetched £320 to £750 at saleroom level, well below the £1,100–£1,400 hammer results common a decade ago, so what the camera is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter, and the presence of the original viewfinder and ground-glass back.
