Ross Ensign Autorange 820

The Ensign Autorange 820 is a British-made folding medium format rangefinder camera that shoots 120 roll film. It was produced by Ensign Ltd in the early post-war period and positioned as a higher-end folder with a coupled rangefinder for focusing accuracy.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Ensign Autorange 820 have sat in the £320–£360 range, with a median around £340 based on the two recorded sales in 2025. As of today these are wholesale saleroom results rather than retail asking prices, and clean, fully-working examples with a responsive rangefinder tend to sell for more than bodies with haze or stiff bellows, so condition strongly affects what the camera is worth.
