Ernemann HEAG XV

The Ernemann HEAG XV is a folding plate camera produced by the Dresden maker Ernemann in the early twentieth century, before the company was absorbed into Zeiss Ikon in 1926. It was a mid-range strut-folding camera aimed at amateur plate photographers of its era.

Sales data for the HEAG XV is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from 2005 saw an example sell for £175. With only one wholesale saleroom datapoint to reference, today's value is difficult to pin down with confidence, and any current price would depend heavily on completeness, lens specification and bellows condition.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Ernemann HEAG XV worth today?

Evidence is limited to a single 2005 UK auction sale at £175, so a reliable current value cannot be stated; condition, completeness and lens fitted will drive what any given example sells for.

How much does an Ernemann HEAG XV sell for at auction?

The only verified UK hammer price on record is £175, achieved in 2005, which gives a rough historical reference point rather than a current market price.

Is the Ernemann HEAG XV a usable camera?

It is a plate camera from the pre-Zeiss-Ikon Ernemann era, so use today depends on sourcing plate holders or a sheet-film adapter and on the bellows and shutter being in working order.
