Ross Field Camera

{"overview":"The Ross Field Camera is a British-made wooden large-format field camera from Ross of London, a long-established optical manufacturer. As of today in 2026, condition drives almost all of the value: complete examples with an intact bellows, matching lensboard and working shutter sell for more, while a tired body with pinholes in the bellows is what a Ross Field Camera is typically worth at the lower end. These are auction-hammer figures, so dealer asking prices for restored examples sit above this band.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows carefully for pinholes and corner wear — replacement is possible but costly and affects the price a buyer will pay. Check the ground-glass for cracks, verify that the rising\/falling front and swing movements lock firmly, and look at the wood joints and brass fittings for shrinkage or loose screws.
