Ernemann HEAG II (Series II)
The Ernemann HEAG II (Series II) is an early 20th-century folding plate camera produced by the German manufacturer Ernemann of Dresden. It belongs to the family of compact folding plate cameras aimed at amateur photographers in the pre-First World War era.
Evidence on what an Ernemann HEAG II is worth today is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from March 2026 sells for £30, which sits at wholesale saleroom level rather than retail. With only one data point, that figure should be treated as indicative of the lower end of the market price rather than a reliable median, and complete examples with original cases or accessories can value higher.
