Ernemann HEAG VI (two shutters)

The Ernemann HEAG VI is an early 20th-century German folding plate camera produced by Ernemann of Dresden. The "two shutters" designation refers to examples fitted with both a between-the-lens shutter and a focal-plane shutter, extending the camera's usable speed range.

Hammer prices at UK auction for the HEAG VI (two shutters) are thinly documented, with the two recorded saleroom results falling at £480 and £625, giving a median around £550. With so few data points, what this camera is worth today depends heavily on completeness, plate-holder count and shutter condition rather than a settled market price.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Ernemann HEAG VI (two shutters) worth today?

Based on the limited UK auction record, clean examples have sold for roughly £480 to £625 at hammer, though with only two data points any single sale can sit outside that band.

How much does an Ernemann HEAG VI (two shutters) sell for at auction?

Recorded saleroom results price the model in the mid-hundreds of pounds, with completeness of shutters, bellows and plate holders being the main driver of where a given example lands.

Why is the "two shutters" version notable?

This variant carries both a leaf shutter in the lens and a focal-plane shutter in the body, which is less common than single-shutter HEAG models and tends to attract collector interest.
