Kodak Ektra Outfit
The Kodak Ektra Outfit refers to the 35mm rangefinder system camera produced by Eastman Kodak in the United States during the 1940s, supplied with interchangeable lenses and accessories as a complete kit. It was positioned as a high-end domestic alternative to imported German rangefinders of the period.
Sales data for the complete Ektra Outfit is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer record from 2002 shows the outfit fetching £3,125 at saleroom level (wholesale, excluding commission). With only one data point on file, it is not possible to give a reliable indication of what an Ektra Outfit is worth in today's market in 2026, and any current value or price would depend heavily on completeness of the kit, the specific lenses included, and cosmetic and mechanical condition.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kodak Ektra Outfit worth?
Public UK auction data on cameraworth.com is limited to a single hammer result of £3,125 for a complete outfit, so a precise current value cannot be given without more recent comparable sales.
How much does a Kodak Ektra Outfit sell for at auction?
The one recorded UK auction sale on file shows a complete Ektra Outfit selling for £3,125 hammer, with the final price a buyer pays being higher once auction commission is added.
Why does the price of an Ektra Outfit vary so much?
Value depends strongly on which lenses and accessories are present, whether the shutter and rangefinder are fully working, and overall cosmetic condition, all of which can shift the price materially.
