Hensoldt Henso Reporter

The Hensoldt Henso Reporter is a scarce mid-twentieth-century German camera produced by the Wetzlar optical firm Hensoldt, better known for binoculars and other precision optics. Surviving examples appear infrequently on the collector market, which is why pricing data is drawn entirely from specialist photographica auctions rather than dealer listings.

At UK auction the Henso Reporter has fetched hammer prices ranging from roughly £650 to £3,600 over the past two decades, with a median around £1,600. Results are highly condition-sensitive and the spread reflects both rarity and inconsistent demand: a 2012 saleroom result reached £3,600, while a 2024 example sold for just £650, so what a Henso Reporter is worth today depends heavily on completeness, cosmetic state and whether the original lens is present.
