Pricing Collectible Cameras

[Mitica100]

okay so im new here. i just found a Diax Ia in my Basement it has a Schneider 45 f2.8 lens on it amd works just fine i was trying to find out how much this guy was worth but unfortuanly cant find any of them on the web that have sold or are even for sale think you guys could help me out

Yeah, not too many Diax for sale right now. If sound mechanically and optically as well as good cosmetically, your Diax Ia might be worth just under $100.

pufferr, if you'll read the first post in this topic, the link shows at least two sales and the conditions of those sold cameras. Even though the sales were from 2006/2007, the values didn't change a lot. Mitica100 is right on the price.

Glad I stumbled on this! I paid $13 for my '81 Minolta X-700. I think its a win win situation there.

Hey, I managed to get my hands on an Agfa 5x7/4x5 view camera recently. I know this thread is about pricing collectible cameras but I figured this might be a good place to start looking for some info on the lens that came with it. I found a sales brochure and a couple people talking about the manufacturers but not much else.
The lens is a Pinkham and Smith Visual Quality #2 Series IV serial #2854 with a #3 studio shutter.
Any info about or related would be much appreciated.

Hi there - I'm interested in how much this camera might be worth. Stereo/mono tailboard mahogany camera.
Lens is a Eurygonal from Rodenstock, probably original to this camera. Again, a better class anastigmat - extremely fast F3.8.
Quality and condition look good.
