Kochmann Korelle K
The Kochmann Korelle K is a German-made roll-film camera from the 1930s, produced by Franz Kochmann in Dresden. It was positioned as a compact folding-style instrument aimed at amateur photographers using medium-format roll film.
Sales evidence for the Korelle K is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £298 from 2004 is the only data point available, so a reliable current value or median price cannot be drawn for 2026. Buyers asking what a Korelle K is worth today should treat that figure as historic guidance rather than a live market price, and expect saleroom results to vary widely with condition and completeness.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kochmann Korelle K worth at auction today?
Public sales data is extremely limited, with only one recorded UK auction hammer result of £298 (2004), so a current market value cannot be stated with confidence.
How much does a Kochmann Korelle K sell for?
The only verified UK auction price on record is £298 hammer in 2004; recent comparable sales would be needed to establish what one sells for in 2026.
Is the Kochmann Korelle K a rare camera?
It appears infrequently in UK auction records, which is why pricing reference data for the model is sparse.
