Simda Panorascope

The Simda Panorascope is a subminiature stereo camera that produces paired panoramic-format frames on roll film. It is a niche specialist item rather than a general-use camera.

With only a single tracked UK auction hammer result on file (£400 in 2013), the market is too thin to quote a meaningful range or median today, and that figure is a wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail price. Values for what a Simda Panorascope is worth in 2026 depend heavily on completeness of the outfit, working shutter, and condition of the optics, and confirmed sales remain scarce.

Sales History

Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Simda Panorascope worth at UK auction?

The only tracked UK auction sale on file sold for £400 (hammer) in 2013; with so few data points, current value is best assessed against comparable specialist subminiature stereo sales.

How much does a Simda Panorascope sell for today?

There is insufficient recent sales history to quote a reliable price, so any figure should be treated as indicative until further hammer results are recorded.

Why is the Simda Panorascope price hard to pin down?

It is a rare specialist camera with very limited public auction throughput, so individual results swing widely with condition and completeness rather than settling into a tight range.
