Ernemann Simplex Ernoflex (4.5x6)

The Ernemann Simplex Ernoflex in 4.5x6 cm format is a small-format single-lens reflex camera made by the Dresden manufacturer Ernemann in the early 20th century. It was positioned as a compact reflex for plate photography during the era before Ernemann was absorbed into Zeiss Ikon in 1926.

With only a single UK saleroom result on file — a hammer price of £150 in 2011 — there is not enough data to quote a reliable current price range or median for what a Simplex Ernoflex is worth today. Auction outcomes at this wholesale level depend heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function and completeness, and a clean working example could sell for materially more or less than that lone data point. Sellers researching what one sells for in 2026 should treat the figure as indicative only.
