Ross Wide Angle Camera
The Ross Wide Angle Camera is a specialist British-made plate camera designed for wide-angle photography, fitted with a Ross wide-angle lens. It sits within the tradition of dedicated wide-field view cameras used for architectural and landscape work.
Sales data for the Ross Wide Angle Camera is very thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from November 2018 sold for £600. With only one data point, today's market value is difficult to pin down, and what a Ross Wide Angle Camera is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on condition, completeness of the lens and plate holders, and bidder interest on the day.
