Ernemann HEAG XII (Model l)
The Ernemann HEAG XII (Model I) is a folding plate camera produced by the German maker Ernemann in Dresden during the early twentieth century. It was a mid-tier folding plate model aimed at amateur photographers of its era.
Sales evidence for the HEAG XII (Model I) is thin: a single UK auction record from September 2025 shows the camera selling for £50 at hammer (a wholesale, saleroom-level result). On that limited basis, today's market value sits in the region of £50, though condition, completeness of the bellows, and the presence of the original lens and shutter can move what an example sells for either way.
