Ross Panros
The Ross Panros is a panoramic camera produced by the British optical maker Ross of London. It is a niche piece of British photographic equipment now encountered mainly through specialist auctions and collectors of early UK-made apparatus.
Auction evidence for the Panros is thin: a single UK saleroom result from January 2024 saw one sell for £44 at the hammer, so today's price guide effectively rests on that lone wholesale data point. With only one recorded sale, what a Ross Panros is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on completeness and condition, and a clean, working example could realistically sell for more than this benchmark when one next surfaces.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Ross Panros worth today?
On the only recorded UK auction result, a Ross Panros sold for £44 at the hammer in January 2024; with just one data point, the current value of any individual example will vary with condition.
How much does a Ross Panros sell for at auction?
The available sales history shows a single hammer price of £44, so the camera trades at the low end of the collectable British camera market rather than at premium prices.
Is the Ross Panros a rare camera?
Public auction records for the Panros are very limited, which suggests it appears infrequently on the open market, though scarcity alone does not guarantee a high price.
