Lassner & Ascher Magazine Camera
The Lassner & Ascher Magazine Camera is an Austrian-made plate camera fitted with an internal magazine for sequential exposures. It dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, when magazine-loading designs offered an alternative to single dark slides for amateur photographers.
Auction data for this model is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from 2008 records a price of £340 (wholesale, exclusive of buyer's premium). With only one data point, it is not possible to give a reliable range or median for what one sells for today in 2026, and value will swing heavily on completeness, mechanical condition, and the presence of original accessories.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Lassner & Ascher Magazine Camera worth?
Evidence is limited to one UK auction hammer price of £340 from 2008, so any current value should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Lassner & Ascher Magazine Camera sell for at auction?
The only recorded sale in our data realised £340 at hammer; with no recent comparable results, today's price would depend on condition and bidder interest on the day.
Is this camera a practical user today?
It is best regarded as a collector's item rather than a working camera, given its age, the scarcity of compatible plates, and the absence of a service network.
