Reckmeier & Schünemann Dreifarbenkamera (Three-Color)

The Reckmeier & Schünemann Dreifarbenkamera is a German three-colour separation camera, designed to expose three negatives simultaneously through red, green and blue filters for early colour photography work. As a specialist tri-colour instrument, it sat outside the mainstream amateur market and was aimed at studio and reproduction use.

Auction data for this model is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from December 2021 records the camera selling for £322, and that figure remains the only documented reference point as of today in 2026. With just one data point at auction-hammer level (wholesale, excluding commission), it is not possible to give a meaningful range or median, and the price a comparable example sells for now would depend heavily on completeness, filter condition and provenance.
