Wanaus Reisekamera (Field Camera)

The Wanaus Reisekamera is a folding wooden field camera, a body type used historically for large-format sheet film photography on location. "Reisekamera" is the German term for travel or field camera, reflecting the collapsible bellows design intended for portable view-camera work.

Auction data for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result in 2007 saw a Wanaus Reisekamera hammer at £120. With only one data point, there is no meaningful range or median to cite, and as of today any current value would depend heavily on condition of the bellows, ground glass and woodwork. Hammer prices at UK auction exclude buyer's and seller's commission.
