Ica Kinamo 35mm
The Ica Kinamo 35mm is an early German-made amateur cine camera for 35mm motion picture film, dating from the silent-film era of the early 20th century. It was a hand-cranked compact movie camera positioned for amateur and semi-professional cinematography before Ica was absorbed into Zeiss Ikon in 1926.
Sales data for the Kinamo 35mm is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2007 stands at £72, which gives a wholesale saleroom benchmark rather than a current retail value. With only one data point, anyone trying to gauge what a Kinamo 35mm is worth or sells for today in 2026 should treat that figure as indicative only, with condition, completeness of accessories, and working mechanism likely to drive significant variation.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Ica Kinamo 35mm worth at UK auction?

With just one verified sale on file, there is no reliable current price band; condition, completeness, and bidder interest on the day will dominate any result.
Is the Ica Kinamo 35mm a stills or movie camera?
It is a 35mm motion picture (cine) camera from the early 20th century, not a stills camera.
