Kodak Ektra

The Kodak Ektra is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1941 as a high-end system camera with interchangeable lenses and interchangeable backs. It was Kodak's most ambitious American-made 35mm design, positioned against the German rangefinders of the period.

Hammer prices for the Kodak Ektra at UK auction have spanned roughly £490 to £1,400, reflecting the wide condition gap between working and display-only examples in the saleroom. As of 2026 the model remains thinly traded, so the value of any given body depends heavily on whether a matching lens and original accessories accompany it. Complete outfits sell for considerably more than bare bodies at auction level.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Kodak Ektra worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer results place the Ektra between about £490 and £1,400, with the price a given example sells for driven mainly by mechanical condition and whether a lens is included.

How much does a Kodak Ektra sell for at auction?

Two tracked UK sales produced hammer prices of £493 and £1,364, so the working range for value sits broadly in the mid-hundreds to low-four-figures in GBP.

Is the Kodak Ektra a rare camera?

Yes — production was limited and the model appears infrequently at UK auction, which is part of why price data is sparse and individual results vary widely.
