Robinson Field Camera

The Robinson Field Camera is a wooden large-format field camera, a folding plate-camera design of the type produced in Britain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for landscape and studio work on glass plates or sheet film.

With only a single recorded UK auction result to reference, pricing today is thinly evidenced: a Robinson Field Camera sold for £277 hammer at Chiswick Auctions in August 2024, which gives a working benchmark for what one of these sells for at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). Because the sample is so small, the value of any given example in 2026 will swing heavily on completeness of fittings, condition of the bellows and woodwork, and whether a usable lens is included.
