Schneider-Kreuznach 360mm f/5.5 Tele-Arton

The Schneider-Kreuznach 360mm f/5.5 Tele-Arton is a medium-format telephoto lens from Schneider's Arton family, designed for large-format and view camera work where a long focal length with a moderate maximum aperture was required. Its telephoto construction shortens the physical length relative to the focal length, making 360mm coverage practical on a field or studio camera.

At UK auction hammer level, this lens has a thin but informative track record: two recorded sales of £40 (January 2026) and £150 (July 2023), giving a median of £95 and a range from £40 to £150 — wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail. As of today in 2026, the spread reflects how much the price a Tele-Arton sells for depends on glass condition, shutter functionality and completeness; clean working copies sit toward the upper figure, while spares-or-repair examples drag the value down. With only two data points, anyone asking what a 360mm f/5.5 Tele-Arton is worth should treat these numbers as indicative rather than a firm market price.
