Nicéphore Niépce is often said to be the first person to take a photographic image. This is said to have happened in 1826, with the view from his workshop in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes as the subject. That happened almost exactly 200 years ago. Over these two centuries, of course, an infinite amount has happened, and among the best results of this development, we can count the items that Stockholms Auktionsverk now presents in the theme Cameras & Accessories Online only.
With combined efforts, the branches in Stockholm, Helsingborg, Gothenburg, Malmö, and Hamburg have gathered over 200 lots. The sum of the camera cardamom is a varied selection of high-quality cameras from the most famous manufacturers, as well as a long list of accessories.
The auction's top item is a Leica M3 from the 1960s in absolute top condition. From the same manufacturer, several other fine models are available. Swedish Hasselblad is naturally represented, and the most dedicated experts should not miss the compact camera from Contax, a really stylish and smooth device from 1991 offered here in its original box. Its opposite counterpart is found in the turn-of-the-century elegant Voigländer Portrait Anastigmat, a solitary masterpiece in mahogany. In addition to the mentioned items, a multitude of lenses, box cameras, camera bodies, tripods, and much more are presented.
