Ernemann HEAG V
The Ernemann HEAG V is an early 20th-century German folding plate camera, produced by the Dresden maker Ernemann before its 1926 absorption into Zeiss Ikon. It used sheet-film or glass plates and was sold as a mid-range folding option for amateur photographers of the period.
Hammer prices at UK auction for the HEAG V have been modest, with the two recorded saleroom results landing at £100 and £220, giving a median around £160. With so few data points, what a HEAG V sells for in 2026 depends heavily on completeness of the bellows, shutter and original plate holders, and a clean, working example would be expected to value toward the upper end of that range today.
