Ernemann Film U
The Ernemann Film U is a film camera produced by the Dresden-based maker Ernemann, a German manufacturer active in the early twentieth century before being absorbed into Zeiss Ikon in 1926.
Sales data for the Ernemann Film U is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from 2002 stands at £375, which gives a reference point rather than a reliable today's value. With only one verified saleroom result on record, what the Film U is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day, and any current price quoted should be treated as indicative only.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Ernemann Film U worth today?
Public UK auction data is limited to a single hammer result of £375, so a precise current value cannot be given; condition and completeness will drive any sale price.
How much does an Ernemann Film U sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction sale we have for the Film U sells for £375 at hammer, excluding buyer's premium.
Is the Ernemann Film U a collectible camera?
Ernemann cameras are collected for their place in early German camera making, but with so few recorded sales the Film U specifically is hard to position on the collector market.
