The Ernemann Tropen Klapp-Camera is a tropical folding plate camera introduced in 1911, built by the Dresden maker Ernemann for use in hot and humid climates. Tropical-finish cameras of this period typically used teak or polished hardwood bodies with light-coloured leather bellows, positioning the model as a higher-grade field camera when new.

With only one verified UK auction record on file, hammer prices for the Ernemann Tropen Klapp-Camera are difficult to pin down, but the available saleroom result of £320 (2008) gives a baseline for what a presentable example sells for. Today the value of any given camera will hinge heavily on the condition of the wood, leather and bellows, and a 2026 buyer should treat that figure as indicative rather than a firm market price.
