<p>Prices for aerial cameras from that era seem quite variable on eBay. I've seen a k-20 for less than $200USD, and one for over $2K. K-24 is a different matter.<br> The K-24 was in service with Kodak Aero-Ektar lens. I don't know if there was a variety of focal lengths available for the K-24. But the Aero-Ektars are highly prized amongst the large format crowd, which drives the price up.<br> On the other hand, the K-20 camera lens is not so interesting.<br> If you want to shoot the K-24, you'd need the electrical connections to operate the shutter, to an intervalometer, I guess.<br> For shooting film today, the K-20 is easier since it is all manual, if somewhat limited. It is always focused on infinity. <br> I had a huge 500 foot roll of 5-1/2 inch aerial Plus-X for awhile. I think this was the size for the K-24, not sure. I cut it up to shoot in a Speed Graphic. The film was hard to handle as it is tissue thin. My stock had expired in 1955, but still yielded an image, if a bit fogged.</p> <p>Anyway the lens drives up the value of the K-24. If you buy one of these, make sure the lens is still in the camera! Cheap examples may have already been picked.</p>
