Konishiroku Type G Aerial

The Konica Type G Aerial is an aerial photography camera produced by the Japanese manufacturer Konica. It was built for specialist aerial use rather than general-purpose photography, placing it in a niche category of reconnaissance and survey equipment.

UK auction hammer results for the Konica Type G Aerial are thin, with recorded sales spanning £110 to £420 and a midpoint around £270 at saleroom level (wholesale, not retail). As of 2026, values depend heavily on completeness and cosmetic condition, and with so few data points any single result can shift what a Type G Aerial is worth or sells for in the current market.
