Sanderson Sanderson"Regular"
The Sanderson "Regular" is a British-made wood-and-brass field camera, part of the Sanderson plate camera range produced for professional and advanced amateur use in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a folding plate camera designed for studio, architectural and landscape work on glass plates.
Auction evidence for the Sanderson "Regular" is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result in March 2026 came in at £100, so today's market value should be read as broadly around that figure rather than a firm range. Because this is a wholesale auction-hammer price and only one data point exists, condition, completeness of the original lens and shutter, and the state of the bellows will move the price for what a Sanderson "Regular" is worth far more than any headline median.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Sanderson "Regular" worth today?
Based on a single UK auction hammer result in 2026, a Sanderson "Regular" sells for around £100, though only one verified sale is available so the true market price could vary with condition and completeness.
How much does a Sanderson "Regular" plate camera sell for at auction?
The most recent UK saleroom result on file is £100 hammer, which gives a rough guide to current value but should not be treated as a firm range given the limited data.
What affects the price of a Sanderson "Regular"?
Bellows condition, working movements, intact wood and brass, and the presence of an original lens, shutter and plate holders are the main factors that push the value up or down.
