In this video, we’re taking a look at some of the most expensive, rare, and weirdest film cameras and lenses ever sold at auction. After doing a deep dive recently on some auction sites, I was fascinated by a world of film gear that I never knew existed—including the world’s most expensive lens, a few space cameras, a ridiculously pricey Leica, and even a camera for a pigeon.
Also, just want to say a big thanks to Leitz Photographica Auction () and Wetzlar Camera Auctions () for allowing the use of their images in this video.
Enjoy!
