Apparate & Kamerabau Akarelle

The Akarelle is a 35mm viewfinder camera made by the West German maker Apparate & Kamerabau (AkA) of Friedrichshafen. It sits among the small-format consumer cameras the firm produced during the post-war period, before the company exited camera manufacture.

Sales data for the Akarelle is extremely thin: the only verified UK auction-hammer result on file is a single example that sold for £57 in September 1999, so a current median or range cannot be established with any reliability. Today, condition, completeness of the lens/shutter assembly, and which interchangeable-front variant is offered are the factors most likely to move the price when one does appear at saleroom level in 2026.

Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
